There’s a Little Library Book Bag waiting in each of our Libraries for all children starting school this year and we can’t wait to welcome you in to collect it and start your library journey!

Librarians have put together a selection of wonderful books to help children to navigate starting school . You can collect your free Little Library Book Bag in any of our libraries.   

Each My Little Library Book Bag contains:  

• 3 books on starting school, making friends and being comfortable to be yourself  

• A story card on going to the library  

• A postcard the child can write or draw on and send to their new teacher, or bring to give to the teacher on their first day at school 

• Their very own library card and special ‘My Little Library’ cardholder 

Book bags are available in both Irish and English.  

The ‘My Little Library Book Bag’ initiative is a collaboration between Libraries and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth as part of the First 5 Strategy.
