To encourage families to make reading a part of their lives, the ‘My Little Library Book Bag’ is available FREE to all children starting primary school this year from any branch of Donegal County Library.
Irish and English Language book bags are available.
To make the books more accessible, Donegal County Library have made recordings of the books being read aloud available free of charge online.
