Cavan author to launch Cavan Library Summer Reads on 24 June!

Delighted to have Cavan native and author, Eimear Lawlor, launch Cavan County Library 2021 Summer Reads on Saturday June 26th. She has been writing for a number of years and the idea for her first novel ‘Dublin's Girl’ came after she read her great aunt Vera McDonnell’s Military Bureau Witness statement. Naturally, ‘Dublin’s Girl’ is one of our featured books from our 2021 Summer Reads! More details of Cavan Library Summer Reads coming soon!!

MIND YOURSELF READING GUIDE

The ‘Mind Yourself’ reading guide contains reviews and recommendations of over 400 books for children and young people from birth to age eighteen and is designed as a ‘first-aid kit’ for worries, sadness, loneliness, anxiety and any number of feelings that a young person may want to explore during these anxious times of COVID 19!

The guide contains mental health and wellbeing information from Jigsaw and ISPCC Childline, including tips and coping strategies for young people and advice for adults on supporting children to build resilience.

The guide is available free of charge at your local library, and may be picked up free of charge when libraries re-open. In the meantime it may be downloaded HERE

Take a look at the CBI BOOKS MAKE THINGS BETTER guide too!
