Contact Libraries

In-person Bookbug Sessions

Bring your little ones along to the library and enjoy songs, rhymes and stories from our Bookbug Leaders. The sessions give your little ones the chance to socialise with others and learn through play and songs.

Bookings for each session are library specific with some now returning to drop-in sessions. Please check directly with the library before attending to find out if a prior booking is required. Session availability during school holidays can vary – check directly with the library for more information.

Always best to contact the library

Some of our Bookbug sessions do require booking directly with the library. We always advise to contact the library directly before attending for the first time to check if prior booking is required. Just give the library a call to find out.

Bookbug Online

We also do Bookbug Online videos as well. You can enjoy these on our YouTube channel. Watch our latest one below. Visit our YouTube channel and subscribe to make sure you don’t miss future videos and catch up with older ones too: www.youtube.com/librariesnl.

Remember babies are welcome to be fed however and whenever they need in all our libraries, look out for the Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland Award.
