The Bookstart scheme gives books to young children -
FREE!
Local libraries work in partnership with health authorities and
pre-school settings so that
Children up to 12 months receive a Bookstart bag
- Children aged one to two years receive a Bookstart Plus
bag
- Children aged three years receive a Bookstart Treasure
Chest
These packs contain books, helpful information and an invitation
to join the library.
Nationally, the Bookstart scheme (this link opens in a new
window) has shown that giving books to young children enhances
their educational development.
Bookstart book crawl
Look out for the The Bookstart Book Crawl , specially designed
to encourage you to bring your pre-school
 children to the library. We'll give your child
a collector's card to keep, and a sticker for each visit.
After four stickers your child will earn a specially designed
fun certificate. There are up to ten designs to collect, so
why not keep visiting and collect them all. It's free!
Visit any Kent Library (including mobiles) to take part from now
until 31 March 2008.
The Bookstart Book Crawl encourages a library habit that we hope
will keep your children reading for the rest of their lives.
