The second-round rollout of the LGMA Little Library Bags began with ELCS receiving bags in December. These bags promote literacy amongst early age users and the creation of mini libraries in local ELCs. The City Library Children’s department hosted an exhibition by children's author and illustrator, Tatyana Feeney. Taking inspiration from the changeable Irish weather, this exhibition combines illustrations from Tatyana's recent book, Eva, and the Perfect Rain, with other weather-based prints. “Christmas Storytime” with Julia and Richard took place in Mayfield Library including the elf -on-shelf, Christmas jumpers, hats and socks and seasonal story books. A snowball fight with soft (artificial) snowballs saw the children’s team children v. Richard and Julia. December was a great month for Cork City Libraries’ publications with the anthology of contemporary writing Cork Words 2 being published and available for purchase in The City Library, Waterstones, and The English Market. The recent Cork City Libraries’ publication Memoir of an Irish Jew saw its third print run as copies are flying off the shelves of Waterstones as well as bookshops throughout the county! A great high to finish 2021 on as we look forward to a busier and better 2022!
