All children starting school in Cork county in September of 2022 can get a free Book Bag at their local Cork County Council library, as part of an initiative announced today.
‘My Little Library Book Bag’ is available free for every child starting school in 2022, to help them to prepare for the big step. Children and their parents or guardians are invited to visit their local branch or mobile library, to join and collect a Book Bag - available in English and Irish.
