Parents are being invited to bring toddlers along for story-telling and sing-songs at their local libraries. Singers from the Teddy Bear Music Club will be performing as Ascot Durning and Eton Wick libraries in Berkshire host their first Bookstart Plus sessions.
Little ones who join the library on the day get a gift pack with a free book, wall frieze and crayons.
The 45-minute sessions are for one and two year olds and start on Thursday at 1030 BST at Ascot and 1400 BST at Eton.
Places at Ascot library must be booked in advance on 01344 620 653.
