Borrowing books

The Under-Fives Assistant will make a selection which can be delivered to any Cambridgeshire library (including mobile libraries)  You will be notified when the books have arrived locally.

Early years groups and childminders may borrow up to 30 books which are issued for up to 16 weeks. A print-out of all the books borrowed is supplied. No fines are payable on books returned late, but the Library Service respectfully requests the co-operation of leaders/ childminders to ensure that books are exchanged on time

Returning books

Books are delivered in strong black boxes and must be returned in them

When boxes are sent to a library for collection they will bear a blue label addressed to the group/ childminder. Behind this will be a green return label addressed to the Under-Fives Library Service. This should be used when the box is sent back

When returning boxes, please check all books are included and enclose a note about any missing or damaged items
