Libraries all over the Cork County Council area are inviting children that are getting ready to start school in September to visit their local branch, and collect a free My Little Library book-bag.

The My Little Library initiative, funded through Dormant Accounts Funding, is offering the free package - featuring storybooks and junior library memberships for children, and supportive information for parents - for all children starting school in September 2023.
