Groups for parents and young children
Class visits
All of our libraries welcome visits from local primary schools - in fact, Roseworth Library is visited every day by children from local schools when information skills are taught to the children by a member of the library staff.
Teachers from local schools are welcome to contact our libraries for more information about this service.
