We have been asked by Portlaoise Library to share -

How to Grow a Reader

Thursday, 15 October | 6:30pm - 7:30pm

As part of the Laois Offaly Parenting Support Programme, we are delighted to welcome Lori Moriarty, Librarian and Children’s Books Ireland Book Clinic specialist, for an informative and engaging talk for parents and guardians.

In a time of rapid change in how and why we read, this session will explore practical, research-backed ways to foster a love of reading at home. Lori will share expert advice, tips for encouraging reluctant readers, and book recommendations to help families build positive reading habits.

This free event is suitable for parents/guardians of children of all ages.

Booking is essential. For more information and to book, please visit:
