Minister Roderic O’Gorman and Minister Heather Humphreys have launched My Little Library Book Bag 2024, which will provide every child starting school with free books and inviting them to join their local library. The focus of the My Little Library – an initiative under First 5 - is to build strong links between young children, their families and their local library. For the past two years, children leaving the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) pre-school programme and starting primary school were invited to visit their local library to pick up a My Little Library book bag and take the opportunity to join the library.
