Chatterbooks reading group for children
For children in Year 4 or Year 5 who love to read.
- Once a month, on a Friday, from 3.45 to 4.45pm.
Chatterbooks is the UK's largest network of children's reading groups. Started in 2001, almost 9,000 children belong to a Chatterbooks group. Jacqueline Wilson is a Chatterbooks patron; "I've always been a total bookworm and practically lived in my local library when I was a child. I wish I'd been able to join a Chatterbooks reading group then. It would have been such fun to make new friends and discuss all our favourite books. Lots of members write to me and send me their stories and drawings and book reviews, they obviously love being part of a Chatterbooks group."

CoderDojo
- Next session: dates to follow, ask in the library.
Weybridge CoderDojo is part of a global movement of free, open, volunteer-led coding clubs (Dojos) where young people aged 7–17 (Ninjas) can explore digital technology with the support of their fellow Ninjas and volunteer mentors. CoderDojo's mission is to give young people around the world the opportunity to learn to code in a social and safe environment.
At a Dojo, attendees learn by working on projects in an informal atmosphere, talking amongst themselves, and collaborating. As well as coding, you could be designing video games or websites, creating awesome graphics, building electronic circuits or high-tech clothing, or even making and editing films and music! Basically, anything related to computers.
We encourage parents or guardians to stay for the Dojo session rather than only dropping attendees off and picking them up.
Please bring:
- A laptop. Borrow one from somebody if needs be.
Storytime for adults
- The last Wednesday of every month, 2.15pm until 2.45pm.
