Summer Stars twinkle at your Louth library

CHILDREN and families across Louth are invited to take part in this year’s Summer Stars reading programme, running until the end of August, with bestselling author author Judi Curtin encouraging all children to take part and enjoy a summer full of imagination.

Summer Stars BorrowBox: Children of all ages can browse, borrow, read and listen to the Summer Stars collection of children’s eBooks and eAudio books through the public library’s BorrowBox app. This free app can be accessed by library members anytime, anywhere and provides access to thousands of titles for children and adults.

Online Storytimes: Library staff and Irish authors will create Summer Stars virtual storytimes, including chaptera-day readings from books. These will be available to families at home on the Louth Library Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/LouthCountyLibraries/

Story Competition: Children and young people will have the opportunity to create their own stories and enter our Summer Stars Story Competition ‘An Unexpected Adventure’. The competition will run from the 1st of July to the 31st of August with three age categories (6-9, 10-14 and 15+) and brilliant prizes for the winners and runners up.
