Bookstart

Bookstart logoWe run two Bookstart activities for pre-school children every week.

Tuesdays   Baby Bounce    10.00am - 10.30am
Thursdays  Tot Rock          10.00am - 10.30am


Both sessions include a short storytime session for the last 10 minutes.  We leave the toys out for a while after the sessions so parents can stay for a chat while their children play.

Top Time

This weekly group, meeting on Thursdays, has a varied programme of activities for older people and carers.  

Find more details of the forthcoming programme here or please contact the library for further information or special requirements.

Come and enjoy our children's craft activities every Sunday at Newmarket Library.  Sunday activities are suitable for children of all ages unless otherwise specified.  They run from 11.00am to 3.00pm and there is also colouring available to do throughout the day.
