Library services for
young people
There are lots of fun and interesting
activities for parents and children at our libraries. Call your
local library (020 8430 2000) or just drop by to find out what's on
near you!
There are books for children of all ages, including
babies, exciting stories for older children, books to aid with
hobbies, homework and all your favourites from Harry Potter to
Lemony Snicket and the latest Jacqueline Wilson. There are also
Toys, DVDs, Graphic Novels and much more.
We have a range of services for children aged under-five and their
Parents and Carers:
If your child needs help with homework, our
homework helpers are available every week during term time to
give advice and support with books, online encyclopaedias, the
Internet, worksheets and other resources.
Every summer children aged 4-12 can take part in our
Reading
Challenge. There are rewards for everyone taking part. You
can also get help to improve your reading during the summer
holidays.
Looking for fun and games? Drop in to our Games Clubs and Teen Xtra sessions. Over the summer holidays
we have Extended Opening days at Custom House and Manor Park libraries where for the entire day
you have the opportunity to play with console games such as
Nintendo Wii, Playstation and Xbox as well as traditional board
games. |
