The Donegal County Library Service has announced their Family Time at Your Library Programme. The programme, which runs throughout the month of December, promises to deliver a range of exciting and engaging activities aimed at connecting families with the enjoyment of reading and sharing stories.
Family Time at Your Library events are designed to support a family-focused approach to reading with children as part of the national Right to Read Programme.
So, what do we have in store for you?
We have a programme packed full of fun and exciting activities for families to enjoy in all our libraries over the festive season. These include Storytime sessions, Rhyme Time, Arts and Crafts, Music and Dance and Lego challenges. The staff in branches across Donegal have been busy putting together a mix of events for their patrons.
Storytelling and reading with children help strengthen language and literacy skills and is also important for emotional development, supporting family bonds and of course, helps to inspire the imagination.
We have some wonderful Christmas Crafting Sessions in store for the family to enjoy this December. Why not create some magical memories with your children and take home some festive keepsakes made with love, creativity, and uniqueness.
Santa and Mrs Claus will also be making appearances in some libraries over the next month, making sure to be back in the North Pole before Christmas Eve. There are also events for our Ukrainian residents and numerous Irish Language events scheduled. Suzanne Ní Ghallachoir will be hosting an online Irish language Storytelling event for all children to enjoy, wherever they may be.
In Central Library, Letterkenny, Líonra Leitir Ceanainn presents Daidi na Nollag in Story Sack format. Not only is this great fun, but literacy based and a charming activity for the family to enjoy together.
All events are free of charge.

Tá an clár, Am Teaghlaigh i Do Leabharlann fógartha ag Seirbhís Leabharlainne Chontae Dhún na nGall. Beidh an togra ar siúl ar feadh mhí na Nollag, agus gealltar go mbeidh raon gníomhaíochtaí spreagúla agus tarraingteacha ar fáil chun teaghlaigh a nascadh le chéile trí léitheoireacht agus scéalaíocht.
Tá sé d’aidhm ag imeachtaí Am Teaghlaigh i do Leabharlann an léitheoireacht a lárnú i saol an teaghlaigh mar pháirt den chlár náisiúnta An Cheart Chun Léitheoireachta i do Leabharlann.
Mar sin, cad é atá anseo againn daoibh:
Tá clár againn lán de ghníomhaíochtaí spraíúla agus spreagúla do theaghlaigh inár leabharlanna le linn shéasúr na Nollag. Ina measc iad seo, tá seisiúin Scéalaíochta, Rannta, Ealaíona agus Ceardaíocht, Ceol agus Damhsa agus dúshláin Lego. Bhí an fhoireann leabharlainne ar fud Dhún na nGall gnóthach ag cur meascáin d’imeachtaí le chéile.
Neartaíonn scéalaíocht agus léitheoireacht scileanna teanga agus litearthachta agus tá sé tábhachtach don fhorbairt mhothúchánach fosta. Chomh maith leis sin, neartaíonn an scéalaíocht naisc teaghlaigh agus spreagann sí an samhlaíocht.
Tá roinnt Seisiún Ceardaíochta Nollag ar dóigh againn. Bígí linn agus cruthaigh cuimhní draíochtúla le do pháistí agus tabhair n’bhaile leat cuid de na cuimhneacháin Nollag a rinneadh le grá, cruthaitheacht agus uathúlacht.
Beidh Daidí agus Mamaí na Nollag ag tabhairt cuairte ar chuid dár leabharlanna an mhí seo chugainn ach beidh siad ag cinntiú go mbeidh siad ar ais sa Mhol Thuaidh roimh Oíche Nollag. Tá imeachtaí dár gcónaitheoirí ón Úcráin agus go leor imeachtaí Gaeilge beartaithe fosta. Beidh Suzanne Ní Ghallachoir ina hóstach ar imeacht Scéalaíochta Gaeilge ar líne.
Sa Lárleabharlann i Leitir Ceanainn, beidh Líonra Leitir Ceanainn ag cruthú mála scéalaíochta a bhaineann leis an leabhar Daidí na Nollag. Chomh maith leis an spraoi a mbainfidh siad as an imeacht litearthachta seo, beidh deis ag an teaghlach sult a bhaint as imeacht le chéile.
Tá na himeachtaí uilig saor in asice.
