PARENTS can now go to the library for a novel way of motivating their children.

The Encourage and Praise range of reward charts are available in Bromley Central, Orpington and Beckenham libraries.

They are designed to encourage children through praise and recognition of achievement whether used alongside reading and writing or behavioural issues.

Victoria Ballard, the founder of the Victoria Chart Company, said: “To have our charts available in library settings is fantastic.

“Carers, parents and grandparents refer to libraries for information and support.

“Our customers often ask where on the high street they can buy our charts, so it is great they are being made available through these reputable outlets.”
