March with Richmond Libraries
Story Times are back!

In line with the relaxation of COVID-19 safety procedures, we are gradually reintroducing story times in libraries.

We successfully started sessions this week in Castelnau, East Sheen, Ham, Hampton, Richmond, Teddington, Twickenham and Whitton libraries.

Sessions in our smaller libraries (Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick and Kew) will start the week beginning Monday 4 April.
