National Childminding Week celebrated in Clare County Library

National Childminding Week took place from 28th March to the 2nd April 2009. The aim of this specially designated time is to celebrate and acknowledge childminding and childminders across the country. Clare County Library in association with Clare County Childcare Committee hosted storytimes for young children and their minders. Library staff read to the children and introduced childminders to the wide variety of picture books available for borrowing, free of charge, in all branches. The library branches in Ennis, Kilrush, Shannon, Sixmilebridge and Scariff hold regular weekly storytimes throughout the year, with Miltown Malbay and Tulla libraries holding storytimes throughout the summer months. These sessions are open to childminders, the children in their care and all parents/guardians of young children. For more information see Ongoing Library Events.
