How are Bookstart packs delivered?

If there is a Bookstart scheme operating in their area, babies and toddlers can receive their free Bookstart packs from the following places:

  1. Their health visitor / local health clinic
  2. Early Years setting
  3. Their local library

Note: Receiving a Bookstart pack is not dependent on joining the local library.

 

How are books selected for packs?

Booktrust is an independent organisation supporting independent and creative readers.

Although Bookstart works with different partners, including commercial sponsors, charitable trusts and Government departments, the book selection process is independent and has no government or commercial involvement.
