Storytime for under 5s

We love story times at Newcastle Libraries - they encourage language development, help foster a love of books, and most importantly, they're really, really fun! 

Enjoy stories in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, explore what the library has to offer, make friends and listen to stories that will encourage young children to develop a life-long love of books from an early age. These sessions do not need to be pre-booked, please feel free to drop in.
