School visits to libraries
Class visits to libraries can be arranged, free of charge, at all of our main libraries. A librarian will give a brief introduction to the services available and if desired will talk about specific books and/or provide a story telling session. To arrange a session please contact your local library directly or contact Sue Mason on 01902 552023.
