Spring into
Storytime
26.03.24
THROUGHOUT April 2024,
Donegal Library Service will deliver an exciting
programme of events aimed at children aged 0-10 years
old and their families. You will be able to join Spring
into Storytime in person at your local library or
virtually online. The programme include author visits,
cartoon workshops, crafting events, an Irish language
crossword competition, singing, dancing workshops and
lots more.
Studies show that young children whose parents read to
them daily have been exposed to at least 290,000 more
words by the time they enter pre-school than children
who aren’t read to regularly. And depending on how much
daily reading time children get, that number can go up
to over a million words. |
Regularly reading to a
child for the love of it provides a connection between
parent and child from the very early days and helps
build strong family ties. Families who enjoy reading
together have more opportunities for discussion,
developing empathy and attachment. Children who read for
pleasure do better in a wide range of subjects at school
and it also positively impacts their wellbeing.
More information and the schedule for all the events can
be found on the Donegal Library website in the ‘What’s
on’ section at
