New Ross children collect book bags at local library
New Ross Standard
The librarians at New Ross Library have had lots of little visitors recently, as the My Little Library Book Bag has become increasingly popular among children taking the big leap into their new primary school setting this September.
The bags available from the library are free for every child starting school in 2025, aged four to six, and the contents are chosen carefully to help children navigate starting school, with books and resources for parents and children.
Children and their parents or guardians can collect the bags at New Ross Library, or any public library, and the bags and contents are also available as Gaeilge.
'We hope that once you visit the library to pick up their book bag, you and your family will come back regularly to keep their bag filled up with borrowed books and to take part in the wide range of children's events we have to offer at the library,' said the librarians.
The New Ross Library staff, Thomas, Caroline, Emma, Frances and Lucija, are looking forward to the children dropping in to collect their free book bags and begin their library membership journey.
