The Imagination Library

The Imagination Library is a book-gifting scheme for under-fives. Any child under the age of five, and living in Rotherham, is eligible to join the scheme. Once they’ve done so the child will receive a good quality age-appropriate book, once a month, until they reach the age of five. There is no charge to the family and the books are theirs to keep. The book is personally addressed to the child and posted to their home address. Families can register or change their address details on line by visiting: www.rotherham.gov.uk/imaginationlibrary
