Bookbug

Children respond to song, story and rhyme in a very special way and Bookbug sessions celebrate this. These sessions help improve speech, language and brain development, as well as social and emotional skills. But that's not all, they are also great fun! 

Bookbug encourages mums, dads and carers to sing and share stories with their children from birth. Children love these interactive sessions and it provides an opportunity for parents to bond with their child by giving them one to one quality time! It's also a great way to meet other parents and carers, swap ideas and support each other along the way.

PLEASE NOTE: Bookbug sessions are subject to change and we recommend contacting your local library in advance to check sessions are running that week.

Bookbug gifts every child in Scotland four free bags of books in their first 5 years.
