Bradford libraries

Bradford Council Libraries runs free story and rhyme times across the district for young children and carers. Start with the story and rhyme times overview for the full list.

Many sessions include a craft activity linked to the story, and children can use their own library card and join the Bookstart Bear Club. Parents, carers and young children can also socialise before and after the sessions, while an asterisk marks term-time-only events.

The branch listings make it easy to compare age band, venue and timing, from Shipley Library's under-fives stories and crafts to Wyke Library, Baildon, Thornton and Wibsey, each with its own pattern.
