Summer Stars at
your library
05.06.24
DONEGAL Library Service
has just announced a comprehensive programme of events
for children this summer. From today, the library will
offer a diverse range of activities across all its
branches, creating a fun and engaging environment.
Through a series of hands-on workshops, live story time
sessions, and interactive activities, the library aims
to foster a lifelong love for books, learning and
libraries to children of all ages. |

The Summer Stars programme
promises a diverse range of activities that appeal to
various interests. From arts and crafts workshops to
Harry Potter-inspired events, the programme ensures
there's something for everyone. Children can look
forward to Flying Glider workshops, where creativity
takes flight, bilingual story time sessions in Irish,
English, and Polish, fostering an inclusive environment
and creative writing and Lego workshops encouraging
creative thinking whilst bringing ideas to life.
Each participant will receive rewards and incentives
along the way. To encourage reading goals, each branch
will have individual prizes for those who sign up to the
programme. Every time you read a book and return it to
the library you receive a ticket to be entered into a
prize draw. Once your ticket is in the prize draw box,
your name could be pulled to win one of our fabulous
prizes. The more you read the more chances you have to
win! Also, this year, in partnership with Rannóg na
Gaeilge of Donegal County Council, children who borrow
Irish Language books will be in with the chance of
winning special prizes such as Lego from their local
library.
In our quest to Plant the Reading Seed, participants in
the 2024 summer programme can also look forward to
receiving a special sunflower seed and pot allowing
children across the county to experience the joy of
watching their flowers bloom and grow.
Speaking at the launch of the festival Cathaoirleach
Cllr Martin Harley commented “I am delighted to launch
this fantastic programme. What sets Donegal County
Library's summer initiative apart is its commitment to
accessibility and inclusivity. Every event is free,
ensuring that every child across the county can
participate. I am especially delighted to see two
partnerships with Donegal County Council in this year’s
programme courtesy of Rannóg na Gaeilge and the
Biodiversity Office. The Summer Stars Programme is more
than just a series of events; it’s a means for children
to connect with their peers and their community.” |
