]]>The focus for this new cross border tour is on children's rights. we will be working with the children to talk about their rights and creating a new publication with children in Sligo, Derry, Dundoran and Enniskillen that will tour with the Travelling Library. This programme is funded through the Department of Foreign Affairs.
Before the launch Kids' Own held an event for the librarians who are taking part in the tour. The aim of the event was for everyone to meet together and for Kids' Own to share their way of working and process of working with children with the Librarians.
]]>It is the first library in Ireland that houses books made exclusively by children and aims to build on this genre by providing children with access to books made by their peers and to engage them in book-making activity within the library.
Monday 14th June will see the launch of the Travelling Library in Sligo Library, where it will be accessible to visitors there until the 29th June. Two local schools will also be participating in workshops facilitated by Kids' Own. The launch marks the start of a tour of the border region funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs (Reconciliation Fund).
The Travelling Library will travel to Sligo, Derry, Bundoran and Enniskillen as part of the tour, and participating children will work on the creation of a brand new publication.
Keep track of the Travelling Library here on our website or on our Travelling Library Journal.
