Rhymetime
Rhymetime during lockdown
Whilst our libraries are closed we are putting Rhymetimes on our Facebook page every Monday and Friday at 10.30am. You can also watch past rhymetimes on our YouTube channel.
Pebble the penguin rhymetimes
Introduce your baby to songs, rhymes and books at your library!
Pebble the penguin rhymetime sessions are aimed at babies and toddlers, aged under five, along with their mums, dads and carers. The events are based entirely on sharing nursery rhymes, action songs and percussion music. It is fun, interactive and noisy!
Nursery rhymes are great for language development, they have a lot of rhythm which catch baby's attention, and repetition, which is good for speech development. It is also a nice way of introducing babies and toddlers to their local library!
Rhymetimes are free and are a great opportunity for dads, mums, carers and children to make new friends in a relaxed setting.

There are 12 rhymes in total. You can enjoy the rhymes from home.
Sessions are held in most of Surrey's libraries
Please note that due to the popularity of some of our Pebble rhymetimes, some sessions may be ticketed, operate a booking system, or have limited capacity.
Check your local library's events and activities listing, using the links in the table below, especially during Surrey school holidays for more details and for any changes. Alternatively contact the library service.
