Under Five's
Bonus Books for Under 5's
The greatest gift you can give your children is a love of reading. You can give them a good start in life by introducing them to books at a young age.
If you sign them up to any Horowhenua Library before their fifth birthday, they will receive their own library starter pack including a library bag, library card and a free picture book. Don’t forget to bring with you some personal ID as well as proof of address.

Toddler Time

Come and enjoy some time at the library with your littlies!
Toddler Time is a free interactive programme with stories, rhyme, singing, movement and dance, all delivered in a way that will delight and stimulate your child. It's a fun way to introduce children to reading skills, listening and concentration in a group situation.
