Children's services

Halton libraries is very proud to have possibly the world's youngest library member on it's books! Noel Harris, a janitor at Halton Lea library, signed his little grandson, Charlie Harris, up to the library services when he was just 8 hours old! In an article in The Liverpool Echo, Noel says 'My whole family understands the importance of reading and the earlier children get comfortable around books the better'.

We totally agree with what Noel says and have lots of events for little ones. 3 of our libraries hold Rhymetime events, a fun time for little tots to be read a story, sing songs and play games. Rhymetime is held at the following times:

Ditton Library - Every Wednesday, 10.30am to 11.30am
Halton Lea Library - Every Thursday, 10am to 11am
Widnes Library - Every Wednesday, 1.30pm to 2.30pm
 

Rhymetime is a free and fun time for kids from birth to 4 years to get involved in the library. For more info, visit the Rhymetime page on our website. We also work together with Bookstart to get children involved in the library from a very young age.
 

 
For older children, we have a great children's library area in each of our libraries, stocking the latest books for every age range. Visit our Children's Library page to find out before about the different services we can provide for children.
