Parents and carers information
Parents'
Collection
Are you struggling with potty training, breast feeding
or temper tantrums?
Most Sefton Libraries have a collection of books aimed at
parents who need help with everyday issues, such as;
- children's health
- feeding toddlers
- children's play and development
- sleep problems
- crying
Look for these books on the 'parenting' shelves in the
Children's Library.
Online help and information
Parents and carers are welcome to use the People's Network
computers to access the internet. You need to be a library
member as your ticket number is required to log on. These
computers are in all libraries
and are free to use for the first 30
minutes, thereafter a charge of 50p will be levied for each
subsequent 30 minute period.
There is a charge for printing.
You can also access the free 24/7 Enquire
service if you want to ask a librarian a question.
