South Ayrshire Libraries

Children's Services

What is there for me in the library?

For babies, toddlers and pre-school children we provide a large selection of picture books.

Storytime - larger libraries have Storytime for children aged 4 - 6 years. Ask your librarian for details of a storytime near you. Ayr Carnegie Library has storytime for toddlers, please contact the library for more details by phone 01292 286385 or email.

We have a wide selection of story tapes and CDs (books on tape or CD) for every age. All your favourite stories on tape - great for just before you go to sleep or long car journeys.

Competitions - watch out for some super competitions, especially at school holiday times.

To join the library ask your librarian for a membership form and get the person who looks after you (legal guardian) to fill it in. Hand the form back to your librarian and you will receive a library membership card.

If the person who has signed your form is not a library member we will need some proof of identity. This could be an old telephone bill, gas bill or child benefit book.

You can use your ticket in any South Ayrshire Library. It's free to join the library. Anyone can join - however young.
