‘Get Caught Reading’ this May
20.05.20
DONEGAL County Library
Service want to see images of you or your children
caught reading this May. Whether it’s your favourite
place with your favourite book, local newspaper,
reading our digital magazines or a creative photo
with the teddies or a pet, we’d love to prove to
everyone that reading isn’t just for bedtime.
While libraries remain closed, library staff are
really missing interacting with readers from all of
our 13 branches across the county and would love to
see what you’ve been reading and where. Speaking on
behalf of Donegal County Council Library Service,
Senior Executive Librarian Donna Cavanagh urges all
readers to have some fun and "Get Caught Reading’
this May – the stranger the photo, the better".
"Reading benefits emotional health, logic and
concentration which is particularly important for us
all during these challenging times. There’s lots of
reading going on out there, and we are hoping to
capture it during the coming weeks and hope to use
some of the submissions to produce an exhibition in
the future," says Donna. |
She reassures people by
stating "Don’t worry if you’re camera shy, your face
doesn’t need to be on show. Photo’s can be as
creative as you like – the important part is
capturing the act of reading and having fun doing
it."
Any adult, child, pet or toy interested in helping
capture a love of reading during this pandemic can
find out more by visiting the
Donegal County Library Facebook page and posting
your image.
Our libraries are a fantastic resource to transform,
enrich and inspire and we look forward to providing
a physical service again when it is safe to do so.
Until then libraries in Donegal offer a wide range
of online resources including e-books, e-audiobooks,
e-comics, e-newspapers and e-magazines all of which
are completely free. Visit

general queries. |
