Dear Provider,

Later this week Minister O’Gorman will announce the start of Little Library 2023.

All children finishing preschool and starting school in September can pick up a book bag from their local library. This will also give the family an opportunity to hopefully join the library. The bags are available in English and Irish and have lovely books for the children to keep and some supportive messages for parents on their child starting school.

It would be a great if you could share the invitations below with the parents and children in your service that are starting school this year. The bags will available in the libraries from Thursday 8th of June.

Thank you for your support with this initiative.

Kind regards,

Early Years Comms
