Annie Owen, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Principal Libraries Manager, said: "Getting into the habit of sharing stories, books and rhymes every day - even if only for 10 minutes - can transform a child's life, as they explore their world and make bonds, while building skills and a lifelong love of reading.
"We're looking forward to welcoming families to join in National Bookstart Week's 25th anniversary celebrations at our libraries."
