During the hectic countdown to Christmas - why not take
time to curl up on the sofa, get cosy and enjoy a peaceful
festive family read together.
We have lots of traditional Christmas stories, Winter reads
and Classic tales for children and their families.
Or why not start the Winter Mini Reading Challenge from the Reading Agency: it’s a great way for children to have fun and to keep reading during the school holidays. Children can review their books, do online activities and unlock their special virtual badge and certificate.
All the following books are available to borrow from Bradford Libraries. These are just a selection; there are many more titles on Bradford Libraries catalogue. And don’t forget we have eBooks and eAudio Books too.
You will also find suggested Christmas resources that will help to keep children busy while learning and having fun and don’t miss our Christmas competition.

Access to Ancestry
In March 2020 libraries around the world had to close their doors due to the global pandemic. ProQuest and Ancestry made the unprecedented decision to grant public libraries temporary remote access to Ancestry Library Edition (ALE) for those who could provide a secure method of authentication.
ProQuest and Ancestry happily made this decision to help our customers and their patrons navigate this challenging time. We did not charge an additional fee for remote access and we waived the standard annual price increase for 2021.
After nearly 2 years of temporary access, and after most libraries reopened their doors, Ancestry has made the difficult decision to end remote access for at the end of 2021. Ancestry cares deeply about libraries and their patrons, but they have agreements with publishers and other business considerations that prevent them from offering remote access permanently.
Onsite access remains unchanged. You can access Ancestry Library Edition through desktop computers provided by Bradford Libraries or using your own personal laptop, tablet, or mobile phone whilst connected to our wi-fi.
