Events

Wednesdays

Bounce and Rhyme sessions for toddlers. Term time only. 10 - 11am 
Experts have discovered that if a child knows eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they are four years old, they are usually among the best at reading and spelling in their class by the time they are in Year 3. Enjoy sharing songs and rhymes with your pre-school children in a group setting, and help increase their language concentration and listening skills in these fun sessions. 

Knit and Natter. 10.30 - 11.30am 
Everyone is welcome from experienced knitters to beginners. Library knitting groups offer improved health and wellbeing and a lively group of new friends for all ages and abilities.

Reminiscence. Fourth Wednesday of every month. 10.30 - 11.30am 
Take a trip down memory lane at your local East Riding Library.
