We love to hear about what people think about Booktime

Here are just a few of their glowing testimonials:

'My four year old thought it was fantastic receiving his very own book. It’s a great idea.' Parent/Carer

'I think that the programme is really good. It encourages my little boy to choose a book and then we read it together. He is more interested now when we go to the library.' Parent/Carer

'I think Booktime is an excellent idea and hope it will continue! Reading to young children is so important as it fosters a love of books and reading - hopefully for a lifetime.' Nottinghamshire Local Authority

‘It got children into libraries who hadn’t previously visited and made them want to come back, many said they would ask mums to bring them later.’ Librarian

'Thank you for our Reception class free books which have arrived today. They are absolutely great and we think that it is a fantastic gift for the young children starting in our school, some of whom I'm sure do not have books of their own at home. Keep up the good work.' Head Teacher

'Through Booktime, we have made contact with 250 school staff whose job it is to target parents, and we now regard them as a valuable way to reach our family audience.’ Kent Library Services

'Taking the Booktime packs round to schools was the most fantastic way to engage schools with Family Learning and talk to Head teachers about Family Learning course.' Family Learning Tutor

'I just have to let you know what a fantastic week my class has had.' Reception teacher

‘It introduced children and their carers to the library setting in a friendly, informal and entertaining way.’ Librarian
