Rhymetimes are activities designed to encourage parents and carers to share rhymes and songs with babies from birth onwards.

The hour sessions are organised locally and take place in many libraries around the UK. Halton Libraries have Rhymetime Sessions at:

• Ditton Library - Every Wednesday, 10.30am to 11.30am
• Halton Lea Library - Every Thursday, 10am to 11am
• Widnes Library - Every Wednesday, 1.30pm to 2.30pm

Sessions incorporate a mix of songs, rhymes, rhythm and movement, and provide the opportunity to share games, books and toys. Rhymetimes are FREE and great FUN.
