Fun for Children
Are your children stuck for ideas what to do, do they need help with homework, or would they like a fantastic story to send them to another world? Auchterarder Library has a great children's section and our helpful staff are keen to help with any questions and queries.
School work
A large homework collection is held in the library and we keep up to date with school topics so that we can always help children with their homework.
We have two computers in the childrens' library which are a valuable resource for homework.
Storytime
One of our favourite jobs in the library is to take our weekly storytimes. These are held every Wednesday 2.15 - 2.45 pm and every Saturday 10.30 - 11.00 am.
Storytimes are for all children aged 3-5 and they are a great way to introduce your young children to the library and all the super picture books we have. Storytime is free and there is no need to book.
Bookstart Rhymetime
Whether you are parents, grandparents or childminders, why not bring your baby to our Bookstart Rhymetime session?
This was a new venture for Auchterarder last year and is designed to give babies and toddlers an introduction to the library through rhymes and songs led by the library staff. These sessions are held on Thursday afternoons starting at 2.30 pm.
Bookstart Book Crawl
We have a lovely scheme running called Bookstart Book Crawl. This is fun activity is free and aimed at children aged 0-4, giving them a chance to borrow books and collect a series of colourful certificates.
Groups
The library welcomes visits from groups of children for specific library events. If you are involved in Brownies, Guides, Cubs, playgroups or any other similar group then please don't hesitate to contact the library to organise an event.
