All children are entitled to a free Bookstart pack at ages 7-9m; 18m and 36m.
The first pak is usually distributed by the HV at the developmental check.
The second pack is sometimes distributed via nurseries and playgroups - but it is free to collect from you local library between the ages of 18-24m.
The third pack may also be distributed by nurseries and playgroups - but again is free to collect from you local library between the ages of 36-48m.
All the packs contain 2 age appropriate quality books. The second 2 also contain Crayola crayons or pencils. And it is all free.
You don't have to be a member of the library to collect it - but you may have to present you Red Book (it doesn't come in useful for something!)
