Books on wheels! 📖✨ Cathy our Family Liaison officer has been working hard to get the Library Bus to come to Donegall Road Primary School and today the school grounds got a lot more exciting. Opportunities like this make a world of difference for our young readers, and it was pure joy seeing them dive into new stories. We already can't wait for the next visit! 🚍📚
A special Thank you to Conor from Libraries NI
