Children's services

Ealing's libraries provide books and tapes for babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. From board books and nursery rhymes to stories and information books, whatever your interests. We have stories on tape and CD and there are children's videos and DVDs. (You will need an adult to borrow these for you).

Children aged 0-10 years can borrow 10 items, and 11-16 year olds can borrow 15 items. Most libraries hold storytime sessions for children under five and baby bounce 'n' rhyme for little ones to enjoy rhymes and songs in the library each week.

Children and family events are held in every library including the summer, half term and Easter holidays. The activities include craft sessions, story telling and entertainers.

Every year your local library invites you to join the Reading Game. You can read several books by new and exciting authors and win prizes. All the libraries have computers you can use for free. You can play games or do your homework. There are study guides and books to help with your GCSE's, and many novels for when you just want a good read. Most libraries have a study area if you need some peace and quiet.
