Storygarden

Step into our Storygarden at Irlam Library – where stories and adventure grow together!

This special outdoor space brings stories and nature to life, encouraging children to move, explore and enjoy active play outside while building confidence and nurturing imagination.

Little explorers can go bug hunting, follow a treasure trail, or curl up with a story in our cosy Book Nook.

And don’t worry about the weather – we’ve got wellies and coats ready so the fun can continue whatever the forecast!

Visit during library opening hours, it’s free and no booking is needed. Just drop in and explore!
