Look who made a guest appearance at the book club for children with dyslexia this evening!! Turns out the elf on the shelf is a good writer. @wexlibraries

[Caroline Busher - THE BOY WHO SLIPPED THROUGH TIME @CarolineBusher]

Over the last few months as @wexfordreader in @wexlibraries I set up book & creative writing clubs for children with dyslexia. This evening at the book club in Enniscorthy Library I facilitated a Christmas themed cartoon storytelling workshop. We had so much fun!!

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

If you want kids to love reading, show them YOU love reading! Talk about books, share books & enjoy books with them – not as something good for them, like vegetables, but as fun! I've seen it work so many times. Just share your love of books, and #literacy will follow.

NewRoss Library has its own beautifully designed park! Well worth a visit. The perfect reading spot! @wexlibraries @visitwexford

[Wexford Libraries @wexlibraries]

Children & teachers from #CushinstownNationalSchool really made the best of their recent visit to #NewRossLibrary last week by enjoying the Library Park and then their event in the library.
