Bookstart events

Bookstart activities were launched in Suffolk libraries in October 2005. These activities are free for young children and their parents or carers. There are three activities on offer - ‘babybounce’ for tots up to eight months, ‘tot rock’ for those aged eight months to two years old and ‘storytime’ for children aged three - four years

Author visit

Author Ian WhybrowAccompanied by the Bookstart bear, Children's author Ian Whybrow visited libraries and a Children's Centre in the west of the county on Tuesday 5 February. He thoroughly entertained all the children by reading some of his stories and talking to them.

Ian is probably best known for his Harry and his bucketful of dinosaurs series of books.

He will be returning to Suffolk to visit more libraries on 12 September and 17 November.
