Laureate na nÓg Niamh Sharkey joined with colleagues from Brown Bag Films to celebrate International Children’s Books Day at Rutland Street National School with the launch of Bookbag.
Bookbag is a children’s book gifting initiative, kickstarted by funding from Brown Bag Films and delivered in partnership with Laureate na nÓg and Children’s Books Ireland. Rutland National School is the first school chosen to take part in this scheme; Brownbag and CBI hope to bring books to many more schools in the future.
Under the scheme, every child in the school got a brand new book to take home and keep – a book that is fun,entertaining, high quality and that will encourage reading for the love of it, not just to learn.
Niamh Sharkey believes that reading is a great way to explore new worlds through the imagination and to discover amazing illustrations – no matter how young or old you are.
Thank you so much for our beautiful new books!
