As September approaches, families across the community are getting ready for that exciting first step into school and Worcestershire’s libraries are here to help!
Little ones starting school in September have already been proudly collecting their loanable Get School Ready bookbags from their local library, and now is the perfect time to pick up yours too.
Each bookbag is created to help you and your child get ready for the first day of school. Inside, you'll find stories about starting school, helping your child feel less nervous and more excited. There are also helpful tips for you. These offer advice on setting routines, reading together, and making the start of school a positive experience.
Additionally, the bookbag includes fun activities. These simple games and tasks support early learning and help your child feel ready for the classroom.
Councillor Ian Cresswell, cabinet member with responsibility for Environment and Communities at Worcestershire County Council, said: “These bookbags are a fantastic way to help children feel confident and excited about starting school. Libraries play a key role in supporting families through this important transition, offering welcoming spaces, expert advice, and free resources.”
“I encourage all parents to visit their local library with their children and discover what it has to offer the whole family this summer.”
