Borrow, reserve and renew

Schools, nurseries, playgroups and childminders for under 5s can borrow book bags and story sacks to encourage children to read. You can borrow a book bag or a story sack for up to a month. This is a free service.

Book bags contain story books, posters, CDs, novelty and information books.

Story sacks are based on a picture book with props and characters to make story telling fun. Some have CDs to sing along to. There's also a non-fiction book, a guide and a game.

Schools

Schools do not need to register to use this service. We will deliver the book bags and story sacks.

Nurseries, playgroups and childminders

Anyone not part of a school must set up a group library membership. You can collect book bags and story sacks from a local library.
