Happy Christmas and happy reading to all of you from all of us here in Dublin City Libraries.

Family events and activities take place in all libraries during the month of December to support the involvement of the whole family in children’s reading.

Toddler Group / Baby Group/ Storytime for children takes place in the following Dublin City Libraries on a regular basis. Days and times can vary so it is advisable to check with the relevant library in advance.

Libraries are one of THE most important gathering places in our communities. Not only are they places of learning and personal growth but leisure.

The section’s main aim is to go out into the community and let people know about all the amazing things available in their library, both in branch and online.

Going to school for the first time is a big milestone in a child's life. It's an exciting, yet somewhat nervous time for the whole family. We have put together a list of some of our favourite 'Going to School' books, which we hope will help your family navigate this new experience. All books are available to borrow or reserve in your local library.

With Comics Plus, you have unlimited, simultaneous access to thousands of digital comics, graphic novels, and manga.

Being able to read is no doubt an important life skill. Reading is seen as a valuable activity, as something that is good for your child. And it is! But like with anything that is beneficial to our children, we parents tend to, consciously or unconsciously, put ourselves under pressure to “get it right”.

Dublin City Libraries launched a Children’s Literacy Project in Croke Park in cooperation with the Dublin GAA County Board for 6th class children from schools in the Dublin City Council area.

Era Books Online offers access to hundreds of educational books, exercises and learning guides to support the development of English literacy for children.
