PARENTS are invited to attend a free session to learn more about how books, stories and rhymes can benefit their baby’s development.

The session has been organised as part of the Bookstart scheme which supports families to enjoy books with their children.

Parents of babies up to the age of six months are invited to attend.

The Tiny Tots Welcome session will take place in the children’s area at Central Library from 1.45pm to 2.45pm on Monday (July 13).

Every family that attends the session will receive a free goody bag including a book and height chart.
