Little Libraries 2026
My Little Library 2026
We are delighted to announce the 2026 launch of My Little Library.
From the 8th of May 2026, all children completing the ECCE programme and starting primary school are invited to visit their local library and pick up a free book bag to support the transition to big school.
The bags will be available throughout the summer. All families are warmly welcomed to join the library if they aren’t already members.
The books and resources in the book bag support parents and their children in the transition to primary school. The bag contains books for the children to keep, with topics such as starting school, making friends and big emotions. It also has some very useful information for parents on supporting that start in primary school and what’s on offer at each local library. Please see poster below with QR codes for your use/distribution.
The Department of Children, Disability and Equality run a transitions campaign revery summer aimed at families of young children starting pre-school or school. You can find it on Let’s Get Ready.
