Local libraries will play a key role in helping schools spend the grant

The funds will be given to primary and post-primary schools for the purchase of books, audio books and other media, so they can improve their existing libraries.

Webinars will be held in May for primary and post-primary school representatives, which will focus on the practical process of selecting a meaningful book collection for each school, including reading lists developed by libraries and Children’s Books Ireland. Following on from this, each local library service will communicate with the schools in its area, outlining the supports they can provide.

She added that reading assists in the development of language and literacy skills, and as a teacher she recognises its value.
