A free bedtime story book and fun library card wallet are available at your nearest Fingal Library for all children of 4 years and under, to pick up and keep. Little Library at Bedtime is an exciting initiative which aims to engage all parents of young children to read stories to their children at bedtime. Parents can choose a bedtime story book in either English or Irish. The gifting of books ensures that babies and young children will grow up surrounded by books in their home. Families are also encouraged to sign their young children up to join the library which will ensure they have a lifetime of access to books.
The Little Library Book at Bedtime initiative, part of the First 5 strategy, runs from October to the end of December 2023. You can download Books at Bedtime leaflet for tips for reading at bedtime (PDF, 2MB)/
