My Little Library Book Bags for all children starting school this year
To help children to navigate starting school, libraries have put together a bag with books and resources just for them that can be collected at any library.
The ‘My Little Library Book Bag’ initiative is a collaboration between libraries, the Department of Rural and Community Development, and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth as part of the First 5 Strategy.
As part of the initiative, a ‘My Little Library Book Bag’ is available free for every child starting school in 2025 to help them to prepare for this big step. Children and their parents or guardians can collect the bags at any library throughout the Country.
