Early Childhood Reading Initiatives

Public libraries may provide reading packs for new parents and starter books for junior and senior infant pupils to promote reading and literacy from an early age.

Our libraries have a range of stock for new parents, including board books and starter books for junior and senior infant pupils to promote reading and literacy from an early age.

Each branch has Reading Development and Parenting sections in the junior area where further useful material can be found. We also support the annual national Little Library Book Bag initiative for children starting school.
