Cumbria libraries

Cumbria County Council Libraries runs free early-years sessions such as Rhyme Time, Story Time, Stay and Play and Baby Bounce across county libraries.

The sessions cover children from birth to 5 years, with Rhyme Time aimed at 0 to 3 year-olds, Story Time at 2 to 5 year-olds and Baby Bounce at 0 to 1 year-olds. Examples appear in places such as Carlisle, Cockermouth, Maryport, Ulverston, Windermere, Keswick and Penrith.

Parents can use the Cumbria libraries activities page to compare venues, age bands and morning timings, and the listings also surface access features such as baby changing, disabled toilets, hearing systems and wheelchair access.
