CHILDREN
Our dedicated children’s library is a bright and welcoming space for babies, toddlers and younger children to explore and develop a love of reading for pleasure. It is well stocked with baby board books, picture books, early readers, chapter books and junior fiction.
New books are constantly arriving and if we don’t have what you want it’s free to order books in from other Swindon libraries on a children’s library card.
Please note children 11 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Need some help? Staff are on hand to discuss any questions you may have or suggest what to try next!
We don’t stock Young Adult books at the library but it is free to order in requests from other Swindon libraries and collect from us.
Schools and Playgroups
We welcome visits from primary schools and playgroups within South Swindon Parish Council. Visits can be booked by emailing the library.
Children will learn about how a public library works, how they can become a member, have a story read to them and enjoy some time to browse and read for pleasure before choosing a book to take back to class.
