Summer Reading Tree programme

September 24, 2014/in /by
Delighted, as Leas Cathoirleach to be invited to present the Certs to all the children who participated in The Summer Reading Tree programme in Mohill library, this evening. This reading programme,that all branch libraries in Leitrim took part in, encouraged children to sign up with their own library card & get reading. For each book the children read, they wrote the title & their names on a leaf to hang on a tree in the library. The children’s overall goal was to read 6 books over the course of the summer and we had such fun this evening getting to make so much noise! in the library!!! in celebration of their achievements.
