Books in Bags for Babies

Tablelands Regional Council is making reading to children even easier with new pre-packed bags of books that parents and carers can borrow from Tablelands libraries.

‘Everyone’s lives are busy so we’ve introduced Book Packs to make it as easy as possible for you to read to your children,’ said Deputy Mayor Dave Bilney.

‘The more you read to your children the better their speech will develop, and they’ll build a rich network of words.

‘These free, borrowable Book Packs are filled with quality resources chosen by our collections team to help develop your children’s formative years of language and reading development.

‘The resources include board books, picture books, simple stories, CDs, audiobooks and nursery rhymes, and come in bright and colourful bags for two age groups.

‘The blue Baby Book Packs are for up to two-year-olds, and the red Toddler Book Packs are for two to three-year-olds.

‘Library membership is free so pop into one of our seven libraries to join up if you aren’t already a member,’ the Deputy Mayor said.

Normal library borrowing rules apply.
