Celebrating families at Inspire libraries

In our libraries we recognise that all families are different, and that is reflected in the range of stock on offer. Whether you're looking for the perfect bedtime story to share with your little one, to mark a special day or to discuss a sensitive topic, our wide range of titles offer something for everyone.

Did you know reading together can help you in those tough conversations? Take a look at some of our books below featuring titles on adoption, divorce, and loss of a loved one. You'll often find these in our parents collection, denoted by a handprint on their spine. Ask any of our friendly staff who can point you in the right direction, or search our online catalogue from the comfort of your own home.

All of our libraries offer safe and welcoming spaces to explore and spend quality time together. Discover exciting stock, chat to our staff and take part in fun activities. Find your nearest here and check out what's on near you.
