Join Bookstart Bear and Amy, who’ll be in the mood to party at libraries across the Rochdale Borough!

There’ll be lots of fun stories, songs and rhymes to celebrate the Festival of Libraries. Come ready to sing, dance, play and join in, with musical instruments, bubbles, and lots of fun.

Bookstart Baby sessions are especially for babies up to 15 months; Bookstart Bear Club sessions are for babies and toddlers up to pre-school age, and their parents or carers.

Please note – booking opens on Eventbrite from 5pm on Thursdays for sessions the following week. A ticket is required for each child, but not for accompanying adults.

These will take place at various times at:

Castleton Library, Langley Library, Wardle Library, Spotland Library, Littleborough Library, Alkrington Library, Milnrow Library, Middleton Library, Heywood Library, Smallbridge Library, Balderstone Library and Rochdale Central Library.

Exact timings and up-to-date details are viewable through the linked Rochdale Borough Libraries website.
