Rhythm and Rhyme Sessions - Magherafelt Library

What to Expect

Rhythm and Rhyme sessions at Magherafelt Library introduce parents and carers to rhymes, songs and stories with their babies and toddlers, aged 0 to 4 years. The sessions run twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, and are built around bonding, early language development and getting very young children comfortable in a library setting well before they are reading age. A parent or carer needs to stay with the child throughout.

Sessions are free but booking is essential, since numbers are capped to keep the group small enough for a baby-and-toddler-friendly pace. The library takes bookings by phone rather than online, so calling ahead is the reliable way to secure a place, especially since the same slot repeats weekly and can fill up with regulars.
