Totstimes
Our Totstime sessions are relaxed and friendly with songs and rhymes, perfect for all under 5s.
Come along to a Totstime to have fun, sing and meet other parents and carers.
Totstimes are lively and interactive half hour sessions, suitable for all babies and toddlers. They are run by library staff and include a story, singing, instruments and puppets. Totstimes are a great way to learn new songs and rhymes with your child.
