Children's Books

Find ideas and inspiration for your children's reading. Choose from the books selected for theme of the month, books that have won awards, new books and books recommended by reading ability.

Reading Ideas for Children

It's free for children to join the library, borrow and reserve books.

You are never too young to join the library - our youngest readers get their own special membership card. All of our libraries provide children's books - if you need ideas about what your child should read next, click on the links below for some great ideas!

Fines for children are charged at a reduced rate.  Please note that any children's items borrowed on an adult's card incur adult charges.  For more information on loans, fees and charges please click here.
