Bookbug session for under 5s - Wester Hailes Library

We are so excited to bring back our Bookbug sessions! Please only book a free ticket for each adult attending.

Our session will be inside the Library in our Children's area outwith regular opening hours.

A few things will be different about this session in order to keep our staff and all families safe:

• Session will be capped at 10 families. Please book a free ticket for each adult attending. Children don't need tickets.
• Booking is essential and your details will be securely held on Eventbrite for Test and Protect purposes.
• Adults will be asked to wear a face covering at the beginning and end of the session.
• Hand sanitiser will be available on arrival.
• Windows will be open for ventilation, so you may want to bring warm clothing or an extra layer.
• While at the session please follow good hygiene practices (avoid touching your nose, eyes and mouth. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue and dispose of it safely).
• In the event the session is cancelled, you will be contacted via email.
• There will be no toilets available at the session.
• Plastic seating will be provided for parents and carers with children on laps, or children can sit or on our spongy jumbo jigsaw pieces.
• Please do not attend the session if you or your children display symptoms of Coronavirus.
• Adults will be asked to remain 2m socially distant throughout the session (we will have guidance on the ground to help with this). Children are not required to remain socially distanced during the session.

We are following advice in line with the Scottish Government's guidance on Singing, Music and Drama as part of Early Learning and Childcare Services, as well as Scottish Book Trust's guidance on the resumption of Bookbug Sessions.
