27/11/2020 - Family Time at Your Library this December!

A reading initiative organised by your library service this December!

 

The Donegal County Library Service is pleased to announce our Family Time at Your Library Programme, a range of virtual activities designed to engage family members in 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. We will be raising awareness of the benefits of reading and will endeavour to promote reading as a fun and recreational activity for children.

 

So what do we have in store for you?

 

 

We have a range of online activities for families to enjoy including story time and rhyme time sessions. Reading and storytelling with children helps to promote important language and literacy skills and is important for emotional development, family bonds and even helps to inspire the imagination.

 

We have some wonderful cookery demonstrations in store for the family to enjoy. You might just pick up some tips and be inspired to get the cookery books out!

 

If that isn’t enough, we have some competitions too. Keep an eye on our social media for a fun elves and anagrams competition. This is not only great fun but literacy based and a nice activity for the family to enjoy together. Check out our fabulous letter writing competition. This activity will help develop literacy skills with a little help and encouragement from family members.
