📚 Calling all little readers, parents, and carers in Leicestershire!
We are so excited to announce that a brand-new collection of Read Along books has just landed on BorrowBox ! 🎉

If you haven’t tried them yet, Read Along books are a fantastic way to bring stories to life. As your child reads the eBook on screen, a built-in narrator reads the story aloud at the same time.

These eBooks build confidence and encourage independence and they are completely FREE with a Leicestershire Library card.
