Bookbug takes a summer holiday too! During summer our Bookbug sessions happen a wee bit less frequently, but they're still packed with sunny songs, smiles, rhymes and stories.

There's gentle songs for bouncing babies and loads of chances to move for toddlers who've found their feet! There are also stories and probably a few rhymes you'll remember from your own childhood.

Weekly Tuesday Bookbug sessions continue at Falkirk and Slamannan Libraries.

What is a Bookbug Session?

Bookbug Sessions are free, fun, and friendly events for babies, toddlers and their families to enjoy together. Our sessions are suitable for ages 0+ and can be booked on Eventbrite 6 days before each session on Eventbrite, from 10am.

There's gentle songs for bouncing babies and loads of chances to move for toddlers who've found their feet! There are also stories and probably a few rhymes you'll remember from your own childhood.

How to book

Bookbug sessions are very popular and to ensure space and fun for everyone we need to limit the number of spaces. To do this we ask you to register on Eventbrite.  Tickets are available 6 days before each session on Eventbrite, from 10am.

Bookbug session spaces usually go quickly, but do check back in the couple of days before the event as we often have returns.

The parent attending the session will book a place for their family group. There's no need to book a space for your child(ren).

Your booking allows you to bring up to two children with you and a second adult.

If you wish to bring more people to the session please get in touch with the library. 

If you don’t have access to the internet to book via Eventbrite, you can call or visit the library where the session is taking place. Please note that spaces will go quickly and that staff are using the same system that those booking online will be using, so securing a place cannot be guaranteed.

About Bookbug

There is a weekly Bookbug session in every library in Falkirk area during term time. Sessions last around 30 to 45 minutes. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and they're the perfect chance for you to spend quality time with your wee one and meet other mums, dads, grandparents and carers.

Find out more about the benefits of the Bookbug programme, including Bookbug Bag gifting, on the Scottish Book Trust website.
