You are never too young to join the library.

Your local library has stories and information for children and young people of all ages. Joining the library is easy, membership is free, you can join at any age, and you can use your library membership in any Solihull library or to use our online services.

You do not need to live within Solihull to have a Solihull Library membership. Some of our services may have restrictions e.g. only accessible from within a Library or require a Solihull address.

You can join by visiting any of our Libraries with 1 proof of your name and current address for a full library membership. 

Visit our Join a library page for more information.

Details of all our regular events are below and all our events and individual sessions are on the Libraries Events page where you can also book places. Please do let us know if you can't attend so others can. Unfortunately drop-in spaces may not be available for especially busy events.

Chelmsley Wood has monthly storytimes that are advertised on our Events page.

In addition, the Meet and Play session at The Core Library is an opportunity for young families to meet, relax, chat, play and sing together on Fridays, 10:15-11:15. This session is for families, led by families. Toys are provided and the age group is 0-2 years. Booking is not required for these sessions.
