You can have lots of fun at the library - as well as borrow and read heaps of fab books.
Throughout the year we have many activities for children of all ages at the Blenheim and Picton Libraries. There are school holiday activities, fun-filled reading programmes, book-related activities and more.

Baby Time at the Library (Blenheim only)
Baby Time is a special learning & play space set up for you and your baby. Join us for our session especially for Under 2's. Baby Time Schedule 2010.
This programme is brought to you in partnership with REAP, Marlborough.
The Marlborough District Libraries' 'Under 5's' programme is designed to enhance the library experience for 2-5 year-olds (although any small body is welcome). We focus on a picture book, share stories and construct simple crafts and plays. Under 5's in Blenheim is on the last Tuesday of the month and in Picton on the last Wed of every month. Storytime is held in Blenheim every second Wednesday of the month, except during the school holidays and runs from 10:30am. Picton storytime is held every Tues and Thurs on demand between 10:00am and 12noon.
The sessions are free and everybody is welcome. Booking is not required for the Blenheim Library, but please book for the Picton Library sessions as space is limited.
