Fun with books for children and young people
Libraries for you
With ten libraries in Bolton there is an extensive children’s book collection, fiction, non-fiction and graphic novels, with new books arriving daily in all our libraries.
Children can request books for free, and we love to have book suggestions from children and young adults. A selection of E-books, e-audiobooks and e-magazines can be accessed for free with your library card through the Borrowbox app.
Holiday activities
We offer a variety of FREE school holiday events and activities aimed at all ages. These include author visits, theatre and storytelling performances and craft activities. Information on forthcoming library events can be found in the Bolton Library and Museum Services' What's On guide, at your local library, and on the Bolton Library and Museum Social Media pages.
