Organisation: Swindon Libraries - Partners for Change programme Issue: Support for young mums reading to their babies

They indicated the need for more support and it was agreed that the creation of story sacks containing props and themes for story sessions would be ideal. A visit was made to a local school to see their collection of sacks.
