What is Forest of Stories?

Our engaging Forest of Stories packs contain everything a family needs to begin their reading journey at home and to build reading into their daily routine, whether by reading at bedtime or just finding some quiet moments each day to share a story. Families can pick up a Forest of Stories pack from any of our 45 libraries in Suffolk.

Reading with your child is a wonderful way to help them grow and learn. Creating a daily routine of sharing stories and rhymes helps your child to develop their communication skills and begin to understand the world around them. It’s also a great bonding time for you and your little one!

Libraries are calm welcoming spaces for new parents. Families can enjoy the space in their own way, whether by exploring our books, enjoying a much-needed stop or taking in our range of children’s activities.

Benefits of reading

Vaikai, kurie skaito savo malonumui, greičiausiai mokosi gerokai geriau nei jų bendraamžiai, turi aukštesnį savęs vertinimo lygį ir geriau susidoroja su sunkiomis situacijomis.

Skaitymas savo malonumui gali sumažinti depresijos simptomus ir pagerinti savijautą visą gyvenimą. Tai gali padėti žmonėms jaustis labiau susijusiems su platesne bendruomene, pagerinti savo tapatybės supratimą, pagerinti empatiją ir suteikti skaitytojams įžvalgų apie kitų žmonių pasaulėžiūrą.
