Story, music and play sessions
We offer regular activity sessions for children aged 0 to 4 at Southwark libraries so that young children can:
- have fun
- spend time with other children of a similar age
- develop their concentration, listening and comprehension, and fine motor skills
They are free and there’s no need to book. Space is limited, so arrive early.
