Families in Gorton Library,  Manchester, 2006

Families Love Libraries: Families Love Libraries logo

Libraries are great places for families, right at the heart of your local community.

You can meet friends, find fab reads and join in with lots of fun family learning, like rhyme-times, sing-a-longs and reading groups.

The four things that families love most about libraries are:

  • friendly and welcoming staff
  • free activities and events
  • access to fast computers, books, DVDs, story tapes and information
  • opportunities to meet other families in a local, trusted, community space

You can find out more about what families love about libraries in this special booklet (pdf)
