Children and young people
Salford Libraries aim to inspire and encourage children and young people to read. To do this, the service offers help to children, their parents or carers and teachers.

For children All libraries have resources for children of all ages and abilities: both story books and information books, books for confident readers or for children who need pictures and simple words. These come in the form of cassette tapes and videos as well as books. They are promoted to children by means of displays, activities and by working closely with schools and other children’s agencies such as Surestart. Computers and homework help are available for children and if your child is under 5, we have hundreds of books and other items for them (we even have books for babies) and it's all free! |

For parents and carers In all libraries, there is also an A-Z information section for parents, carers and other professionals working with children. Look in this section for information about topics such as breastfeeding, your child’s health or children’s play. |
|
For teachers Teachers have a dedicated information and resource centre located at the Schools' Library Service. There are four Children’s Librarians who are able to give expert advice on children's books and reading, run story times and childrens activities and organise class visits for schools. They can be contacted at Swinton, Eccles, Walkden and Broadwalk libraries. If you can’t find what you are looking for in one library, it may be available in another library, and there are no charges to request items. If you would like to join the library there is no charge and help is always available. |
