Public libraries run or host groups where young children can meet, play and listen to stories and parents and guardians can compare notes on parenting and early childhood issues.
Laois Libraries run many groups where young children can meet, play and listen to stories and parents and guardians can compare notes on parenting and early childhood issues.
Four of our branches run Baby Book Clubs each week or fortnight. The Baby Book Club uses songs, stories, books and rhymes to build a foundation to literacy in your baby and toddler through sound awareness for ages 0-3 years.
Mountrath Library hosts an open play session for babies and toddlers every Wednesday morning from 10am-11:30am. Creative toys are placed in a circle on the floor to encourage children to socialise under the supervision of parents/guardians.
Laois Libraries also runs a Parenting Support Programme of talks and workshops in collaboration with Offaly Libraries from September to December. These workshops cater to a range of different ages, including babies/toddlers. Browse the Parenting Support Programme Brochure.
