This page is for parents and carers and offers some useful information of what services Dudley Libraries have to offer you, and the children you care for.
We have parent collections available at all libraries, on topical issues such as bullying, new babies, step-parents, bed-wetting, teaching your child to read, moving house, bereavement and starting school. At the bottom of the page you can download the new Parent and Carer leaflet which provides further information.
The children and young people's page has information about rattle and rhyme, and other child related events within libraries (including homework clubs and reading groups for children).
There is also a collection of parenting leaflets for which you can find out more by downloading the document at the bottom of the page.
This is a major topic of concern for parents and carers and our internet safety page will provide you with further advice and information.
