REDDITCH’S libraries and county learning services are encouraging parents with new born babies to sign their child up for library membership as soon as possible.
For the next three months all Worcestershire parents of new born babies will be given a Golden Ticket when they register their child’s birth.
The Golden Ticket is an invitation to visit any of county library where it can be exchanged for a Bookstart Baby Pack containing two board books, a rhyme sheet and a booklet of tips and ideas for sharing books.
Parents will also be encouraged to take out library membership for their child during the library visit.
Library membership is free and there are no library fines on children or young people’s books.
The Bookstart Baby Packs are provided by the children’s reading charity Book Trust with the aim of helping parents develop a love of reading with their children from an early age to support early language development in children.
The project runs from May to July, 2017.
