Hi all
This might be in the wrong place ...sorry if is
I'm sure that I have read on hear or it might have been some were else, that childminders can take out more books once you have taken your reg cert down there ect.
Well I have just been in to my library to get that sorted and they looked at me as if I was a total nut case!!!.....
Am I right .....probley not??????
I also asked if I could put my advertising card on the notice bord and they said no..so not a very good trip, apart from the big dino poster that I got for a quid ...looks great in the play room :)

H i Nat our library allows childminders to register as a playgroup so we can take out more books and keep them for a longer time. Maybe contact the Library local head office to ask if you can in your area let us know how you get on .
Our library won't let us put a ad up either
Good luck

Yes I can take more books out... I just sign the children up for cards - with parents permission of course! :D
No, they won't let me advertise... they say it's to stop the deluge.

i got most of my posters from the library, they are really cheap.
Ours won't let us advertise.
We don't have a limit on books for children anyway.
in our library we can take up to ten books out on our cards
never asked about advertising so don't know

We can take 12 books out on one card so I haven't worried about telling them I'm a childminder because I think that's plenty enough books to lose and forget to return! Ha ha!

I love the Library! We go to story time every week. They read about three or four stories to the kids and then they do a related activity, great for free! They also get a sticker on a collectors card and when they get to five they get a beautiful certificate! The children have their own cards and i take the books back for them and help them choose some more x

Our library also lets me take out more books and not pay any fines.
Worth trying again

Our little village has the library van so if I took out too many the van would be left with no books! haha
