Primary 5 celebrated Book Week NI by taking home our class novel and creating their own project around Chapters 4 and 5 of THE WORST OF THE VIKINGS.
Mrs Maguire was blown away by the children’s creativity and hard work!
Book Week is a joint initiative between the BBC and Libraries NI and celebrates the joys and benefits of reading and the role that libraries play in community life.
It involved activities and events across the library network as well as some special BBC programming.
Ministers from across the Executive became involved as Book Week Ambassadors, lending their support and making some ‘must-read’ recommendations for Book Week.
Mark Adair, BBC NI’s Head of Corporate and Community Affairs says: "Book Week has become an established feature of the BBC’s local calendar of events. It’s a celebration of books and libraries and the difference that they make. And it’s made possible through our brilliant partnership with Libraries NI. We hope that everyone will feel able to get involved and that Book Week 2024 will be memorable and fun."
Jim O’Hagan, Libraries NI Chief Executive says: “At the heart of Book Week is a desire to encourage people in local communities to take time to read and to encourage a new generation of readers. We value our partnership with the BBC which has helped to grow Book Week year on year and we are excited about the growing number of organisations who share the vision. I want to encourage people this week to pick up a book or, if you don’t know what to read, call in to your local library and start a reading journey which can make a positive difference in your life.
