Bookbug Session Leader training is for those who plan to deliver Bookbug Sessions in libraries or other community venues with groups of children (05 years) with their mums, dads or carers. We balance practical exercises with research-based theory on book sharing, music and child development.

Please only book onto training if you can commit to attending waitlists are regularly full and cancellations greatly impact how many practitioners we can train across the year.

3. Attend an in-person or online interactive session.
