Shetland Library, in partnership with NHS Shetland, provides three stages of Bookstart packs for the under fours. Packs one and two are sent out to Health Visitors, to be distributed at the 8 week and 13 month checks. Any parent who doesn't receive either pack one or two can pick one up from the library. Pack 3, the Treasure Chest, is available from the library for every 3 year old.
