Quinn launches Summer Reading Programme
Tom Carolan (9) and Isabel Doorly (9), 4th class pupils of Ranelagh Multidenominational School are pictured with Minister Ruairi Quinn as they launch the National Public Library's summer reading programs "Going places with books".
Education Minister Ruairi Quinn today launched this year’s Summer Reading Programme at Rathmines Library in Dublin.
The Programme runs in public libraries every July and August and is a hugely popular and successful reading event for children of all ages and abilities.
It is designed to encourage children to read six or more books over the summer. Children get to pick their own books, keep a record of their progress and those who meet the challenge receive a certificate at the end of the summer.
