Storytimes

Mother and Daughter reading

Places for Rhymetimes and Storytimes sessions at Mickleover Library must be booked in advance to ensure we have enough space for everyone to attend safely. Please call the library on 01332 647884.

Come and join us for free Storytimes in our libraries. A chance for babies and toddlers to enjoy some brilliant stories together and explore the library space, and a chance for adults to connect and unwind with other parents and carers.

Derby Libraries has a brilliant collection of children’s books including sensory board books, songs and rhyme books and of course lots of amazing stories by award winning authors and illustrators. After each Storytime staff will be on hand to answer any questions and help families explore our stock.

Did you know library membership is free and babies can have a library membership card from birth? Membership unlocks access to thousands of books, stories, and lots more.

‘There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island…’ Walt Disney.
