More about what Wriggly Readers is...

Wriggly Reader sessions consist of rhymes and stories for babies and toddlers. They are held at least monthly in all of the libraries across Leicestershire and weekly in the bigger libraries. These sessions are aimed at babies aged 0-4 and their parents/carers.

The sessions are run by library staff and last as long as the audience is enjoying them, usually from about 20 minutes to an hour. They are warm, fun sessions where families can join in with songs and stories in a comfortable environment.

Through the National Bookstart scheme, every child receives a free Bookstart gift pack through their health visitor and Wriggly Reader sessions support that. The aim is to encourage a love of books from an early age. Book sharing is an enjoyable and important part of a child’s development and is also fantastic for bonding. Bookstart empowers parent/carers to take the lead as their child’s first teacher. Wriggly Reader sessions are friendly and informal giving families the opportunity to meet and make new friends. Parents can borrow from the wide selection of resources libraries have for young children.
