A lifelong love of reading starts here

A love of books and reading can be encouraged from a very early age. We’ve a great selection of colourful board books, picture story books and early readers.
Buzzy Bee’s Honey Hunt is North Yorkshire Libraries’ fun and FREE reward scheme for all babies, toddlers and pre-schoolies from 0 to 4 years old. It’s very easy to join in.

We love seeing tiddlers enjoying their visits to the library. Choosing a story to read together at home or on one of the comfy sofas in our junior library is a great way to spend some quality time together. Best of all we never say “shush” though, curiously, we notice that parents often do!
how buzzy bee’s works
Call into the library with your child to join the Honey Hunt:
- Enrol your child as a library member (if they’re not a member already).
- They’ll get their special Buzzy Bee membership card and can then collect special bee stamps for visits to the library.
- After six visits and stamps we’ll present them with a smart Buzzy Bee certificate.
- They can fly around the Buzzy Bee loop as many times as they wish.
Enjoy the BUZZZZZ!
joining the library
Nobody is too young to join the library. Joining is free and takes just a few minutes.
Introducing your child to the pleasures of books and reading is one of the very best things you can do to help their development. And don’t worry – there are no fines or charges for damage to books. We well understand that sometimes nothing tops a ‘tear and share’ experience, or beats getting those sharp new teeth stuck into a good book.
