I love to take my 2-year old granddaughter on Tuesday mornings, which are supposed to have story time. I’ve never seen a story teller – maybe it’s a volunteer position and they don’t show? But you can be sure that on Tuesdays at 11 there will be lots of toddlers and they get to practice sharing toys and taking turns on the slide and rocking horse and play with new-to-them toys.Nancy Eddy

You could try picking up a book and start reading out loud yourself. When he was little I used to take my son (now 30) to the local library on a Saturday afternoon when it was quite quiet and plonk myself in a corner with a few books to read out to him and see which he liked best. I hadn’t long been reading the first time I did this when I looked up to see a handful of other kids had gathered round to listen to me.Peter Horn
