The Little Sensory Library

We’ve just reached 500 followers and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for supporting our little venture, sharing our posts, booking onto our sessions and cheering us on. Every follow, like and comment means the world! 💚

We have two SOLD OUT sessions!

Thank you to everyone who has booked on to this weekends session! Keep an eye on your emails as I will be sending an email reminder out 💚

If you didn’t get a space this time, I will be releasing more dates on Sunday evening for the next two-three sessions! x

As I have had quite a few new followers recently, I just thought I’d introduce myself before Sunday’s session so here it goes!

Hi, I’m Shannon, the face behind The Little Sensory Library 👋

I’m a teacher, a proud boy mum, and an avid reader who’s rarely far from a good book. I’m also a big fan of chamomile tea, fresh air, and getting outdoors whenever I can — walks, nature, and a little calm go a long way with me.

I started The Little Sensory Library because I’m passionate about encouraging little people to read! My little boy is never far from a book like me and it brings me so much joy to see other tiny people connecting with books, whether that’s through our messy play sessions, stay & play sessions, interactive story sessions, book bags (coming soon!) or loan bags. Reading certainly isn’t just about sitting with a book but actively engaging with the tale, something we hope to deliver through our sessions.

Thank you so much for being here — I’m really glad you’ve found your way here ✨

💬 Tell me one thing about you below!

🐣Our egg-cellent Easter gifts are available to pre-order for just £5! Each gift includes a velvet carrot pouch, Easter themed wooden maraca and wooden egg shaker. Patterns on the egg shakers and maracas may vary but they are all Easter colours. Where possible, I will try to meet your colour/pattern preferences. See the comments for images of just a few gift sets sent last year.

These sold out ridiculously quickly last year so this year I have decided to take pre-orders to avoid any disappointment. Message us to pre-order yours for just £5!

Collection is from Birchwood, Lincoln or delivery can be arranged if within 1 mile of Birchwood. These can also be posted for an additional £2.65.

Thank you to everyone who has booked a space on session on Sunday! We still have spaces on session that need filling, but not too many so don’t wait too long to book your space. They will be snatched up in no time!

Message us and we can get you booked on 💚
