  • reading sessions.

Many libraries run special activities for children on Sundays, such as:

  • craft sessions;
  • homework support clubs; and
  • story times.

Loans of books are available for playgroups and other Early Years providers.

PCs with free, filtered access to the internet are provided in children’s libraries. There are selected links on Suffolk County Council's web pages to resources that offer:
