Spring into Storytime at Cork County Library

‘Spring into Storytime’ is Ireland’s public libraries annual celebration of families reading together.  During the month of April 2021, ‘Spring into Storytime’ events will be delivered online by Cork County Council Library and Arts Service to bring the magic of storytime directly to your home.

Mayor of the County of Cork Cllr Mary Linehan Foley, commented

“Children have wonderful imaginations and reading feeds their creativity. Reading a book with your child, at all ages, boosts their brain development and is a great bonding activity. Our Cork County library service is here to guide and support you in your reading adventures. During Spring into Storytime, this April, you are invited you to celebrate storytime with online readings from library staff. There’s a host of other activities planned too, with instructional craft videos for children to celebrate Easter and Spring and online storytime book recommendations from staff featuring titles available on the library BorrowBox E-Book and E-Audio app.”  

There will be an online storytime workshop for parents and teachers presented by literacy expert Catherine Gilliland and online “Rhyme and Sign” storytime sessions for parents and babies presented by Claire Glynn.
