Children and young people's library services

You're never too young to make the most of your local library, we've got books, DVDs and tapes for children of all ages.

Brent libraries welcome babies as soon as they are born and have plenty of suitable books as well as baby and toddler sessions. Babies as young as six months can join our Bookstart programme and for older children there's our homework clubs.
