Join the libraryJoin the library together
Did you know that there are more than 40 libraries in Oxfordshire? It’s free to join and every child can get their own library card. Most local libraries offer regular rhymetime sessions for babies and toddlers, and a range of activities and events for older children during the school holidays.

As part of the Oxfordshire Reading Campaign we are looking for volunteers to work in local schools with children on a programme of activities.
