A Right Royal Read 2025, Meath’s Children’s Book Festival is back! Organised by Meath County Council’s Library Service, An Cathaoirleach Councillor Wayne Harding recently officially launched this year’s festival in Slane Library with the help of children from St Patrick’s National School. All primary schools in County Meath are invited to participate in our in-person and online events, which run from Wednesday, October 1 for three weeks.
According to Eileen McDermott, Right to Read Coordinator with Meath Libraries, “whether it’s hearing an author tell a story, taking part in a comic book workshop, making your own books and stories in school, or getting involved in our competitions, the Children’s Book Festival is an opportunity to get all of us thinking, talking, and reading books.”
Schools have been booking into our events throughout September. Check out our brochure at Children’s Book Festival Meath.ie to see all that Meath Libraries has to offer this October. Remember to share your Children’s Book Festival events with us in Meath Libraries by tagging us on your social media.
It promises to be a great year for all the children of Meath. Hope to see you there! Contact childrensbookfestival@meathcoco.ie for more information.
