Every child in the borough is entitled to have a FREE Bookstart Bag at around nine months, eighteen months and thirty six months. They contain books for the child and other goodies too.
The health visitors usually gift the first two bags - the first is a nice cotton bag with long handles so it fits on the back of a pushchair, the second is a smart red briefcase style bag in hardwearing nylon. Then the Library Outreach Workers step in to gift the Treasure Chest, this is done in a nursery or playgroup setting and we gift the Chest to children who will go to reception class at the start of the next school year.
If for any reason you do not get your Bookstart pack in this way you can always call in to your nearest library in the borough and ask them for the pack. As you can see from the picture, the Bookstart bags last well, the one on the table has seen good service.
