Class visits to libraries
A class visit is an opportunity to join the library and find out
what is on offer so that children will be motivated to return out
of school hours with their family.
The aim of class visits is to encourage independent use and
ensure that children are confident to use the service without a
teacher.
What we offer:
- a fun introductory visit to the library
- enthusiastic staff
- the first opportunity some children will have to visit a public
library
- promote and encourage a love of reading
- find out about Chatterbooks, our reading groups for
children
- promote libraries online resources and e books
- opportunity for children to borrow books
- support language and literacy development
- promote the development of citizenship

World Book Day 2012, school visit to library
On
World Book Day (Thursday 1 March 2012) Kensington and Chelsea
libraries celebrated with local schools Thomas Jones Primary School
and St Barnabas and St Philip's CE Primary School.
The school children were treated to a fantastic story especially
written by Historic Royal Palace storyteller Diana
Olutunmogun. They were enthralled, as were the teachers and
library staff who were lucky enough to sit in on the session!
