Welcome to our library services for children and teens - we have lots of books plus other resources and fun activities to support reading, learning, wellbeing and fun.
We are also here to help with any of your queries regarding children's reading and learning, so please ask the staff when you visit your local library or email libraryenquiries@wiltshire.gov.uk and if appropriate we'll pass your query onto our specialist children's librarians.
We have a wide range of fiction titles:
From the latest children's best sellers to classic children's stories
Books for children learning to read
Books for children that struggle with reading
We also have information books to support children's learning and to inspire their interests and hobbies.
All of these books can be reserved and borrowed for free - if your local library does not have the children's books you are looking for we can usually get it in from another library.
Joining the library is free and you can even join online from home (children under 16 need an adult guarantor).
Our libraries also offer free activities for children throughout the year, including rhyme times for babies and toddlers and the Summer Reading Challenge for four to 11 year olds
Children can also use the library computers (with parent's permission), ask about booking a session, all our libraries offer Wifi too.
Our friendly and welcoming staff are happy to help you and your family whatever your needs.
We have a small collection of children's books in Ukrainian, including picture books for younger children, story books for children aged six to eleven, fiction for teenagers and information books. The collection can be viewed on our online catalogue under 'Suggested Reads - Children - Books in other languages'.
All these books can be reserved for free from any Wiltshire library, for more details ask at your local library or email: libraryenquiries@wiltshire.gov.uk.
We will be adding to this collection over the coming months.
