Discover a whole new world

The Wriggly Readers Festival will be Leicestershire Libraries’ first every multi-library festival dedicated to babies and children under 5 years.

From weekly story and rhyme sessions to Boromi Pop-in Play libraries, there's lots for babies and toddlers.

Bookstart aims to provide free reading packs for all babies and support reading and literacy for pre-school children.

Find our recommended books on specific issues for adults, children and young people.

Our Reading Well collections help you to understand and manage your health and wellbeing using helpful reading recommendations.

Discover a whole new world of fiction writers based on your favourite authors using ‘Who Else Writes Like’ (for adult fiction) and ‘Who Next’ (for children’s authors).
