Celebrating Bookworm Babies in
Donegal
01.10.18
BOOKWORM Babies has
grown from strength to strength in the last five
years with an increasing number of parents and
babies coming along to the library every week to
introduce Donegal’s youngest residents to the joy of
reading.
“We will be celebrating Bookworm Babies 5th birthday
this week during Right to Read Week” says Maureen
Kerr from Donegal Library Services “it has proved to
be a great way of spreading the joy of reading to
our youngest residents in Donegal and this helps
create a positive approach to reading in later
years.” |

Dr Mary Roche, who
first launched the initiative back in 2013, will be
back in Donegal to help celebrate the success of the
programme at a special birthday celebration on
Friday, 5 October at 11am in Central Library,
Letterkenny.
In addition Dr. Roche will also be hosting an
evening event for parents, early educators and
junior school teachers called ‘Getting children off
to a great start: talking and thinking about picture
books in the early years’ in the Central Library,
Letterkenny at 7pm on Thursday 4th October.
