Events and Activities

Monthly Newsletter

Storytime: for 0-5 year olds

Monday 10am  and Saturday 10:30am

Storytime brings the magic of reading to life, inspiring families to share stories and make visiting your local library a regular and long-lasting part of family life.

Bookstart Rhymetime: for 0-5 year olds

Friday 10am

Babies and children who discover the pleasure of hearing stories and rhymes have a flying start when it comes to learning to read by themselves. Rhymetime sessions involve a mix of songs, rhymes, rhythm and movement, while providing the opportunity to share games, books and toys. They are also a friendly, inclusive space for parents and carers to meet up, mingle and make new friends.

Board Games Gang

Thursdays 3.30-4.30pm

Come and enjoy a selection of board games, including Chess, Battleships, Jenga, Scrabble, Connect4, City of Zombies and Pop & Hop every Thursday. Playing board games increases brain function. It teaches how to set goals and be patient and enhances creativity and self-confidence plus it’s fun!

Bodmin Library always has crafts, Lego, Duplo, brio train set and board games for children. We also have adult board games and jigsaw puzzles to play in the library.
