Family book time 2025

Act now to express an interest in Family Book Time 2025!

Further information

For the attention of early years leads and literacy leads.

Following two successful years, we are offering Family Book Time for a third year, aiming to work with as many schools as possible. Our core delivery window is now until Christmas, but a few slots may be available early in the new year.

The offer to each participating school will be, 1 or 2 x one hour sessions aimed at EYFS children in both year groups and their parents/carers which can be either a visit to school from a Leicester libraries Storyteller, or we can deliver the same session in your local library if that is preferred

The sessions comprise:

• 30 minutes to model book sharing with EYFS children and their parents/carers using selected picture books
• 30 minute before or after, with parents/carers offering them an opportunity to make library cards for their children and ask questions

It is essential that as many parents/carers as possible attend the session to maximise impact by supporting school parent partnerships, the home learning environment and providing an opportunity for them to join children to the library.

If you would like to express an interest in taking part this Autumn, please fill in this online form which should take no more than 5 minutes.

We are sorry that we cannot guarantee to work with every school which expresses an interest but we will endeavour to respond within a week of receiving your expression of interest.
