Class visits

Libraries are uniquely positioned to inspire a love of reading in children. For some, a school visit may be their very first experience in a library. By bringing your class to the library, you provide your pupils with access to a wide variety of books to enjoy while introducing them to the habit of borrowing. We can even send library joining forms for families to complete so that the children can join on the visit. You might be surprised at how many children have never had the chance to visit a library.

Class visits are a wonderful opportunity for libraries to create a positive and lasting impression. Our goal is for every child to see their local library as a warm, welcoming space where they can explore books, seek information, and feel supported.

You can book a class visit using this online form.

School events

We offer a variety of events open to schools throughout term time. These include author visits, art and themed workshops, theatre and storytelling performances as well as supporting reading initiatives. Information on forthcoming events is usually sent to School Literacy Coordinators and listed on Bradford Schools Online.
