What is the Family Station?
It is completely drop-in, so arrive anytime between 11.00 and 15.00 and stay for as long as you like. You’re welcome to arrive, leave, and come back whenever suits you best. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times
while our Learning Assistants will be onsite, Family Station is completely family-led and informal. Meaning you can play, read and explore as a family, and help yourself to our various creative resources
there will be fun sensory items out to play with, a pop-up reading corner with braille and tactile editions and art materials to experiment, draw and build
you can also borrow specially designed trails to explore the wider Library through your senses and enjoy playful interactions with our building and collection
the Family Station is fully accessible and suitable for children with SEND
the Family Station also runs on the last Sunday of each month.
