Herefordshire libraries

Herefordshire Council Libraries runs under-fives activities that mix weekly storytimes, stay-and-play and age-banded library sessions. Start with the under-fives overview to see the current mix.

Joining the library is free, and families can join in any branch or online. The offer includes Bookstart storytimes every week at Hereford Town Hall, Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Ledbury, plus local sessions such as Baby Bounce, Sensory Play, Mini Movers and Toddler Tales.

For parents deciding what to book, the clear points are the age bands and the relaxed stay-and-play format, where children can play and parents can chat and connect. The Mini Movers session at Hereford Library is a useful example of the local under-fives timetable.
