Do you know a young reader (16-24) who could help us select the next Laureate na nÓg? Applications close next Friday - we'd particularly love to hear from young people from underrepresented backgrounds or communities.

More information + application form childrenslaureate.ie/young-reader...
Poster advertising a callout for young readers. The background is a gradient orange and the bottom half of the image is an illustration of five young people reading surrounded by stacks of books. The main heading text reads "Are you someone who is interested in books and reading? An maith leat a bheith ag léamh as Gaeilge chomh maith? if you are aged 16-24 we want to hear from you!"

Bhí maidin den chéad scoth again ag DLR Lexicon Dé hAoine in éineacht le daltaí Scoil Lorcáin, Baile na Manach.

Léigh Patricia sliocht as an leabhar 'An Mac Tíre Deireanach' agus phléigh sí cúrsaí scéalaíochta leis na bpáistí.

Ár mbuíochas le gach éinne ag Féile IMRAM agus Leabharlanna DLR.

How best to say hello.. what about with a mentorship scheme for début children's writers facilitated by our very own Laureate na nÓg, Patricia Forde?

The Live Literature Performance mentoring scheme includes training, shadowing, and a weekend at the 2025 @childrensbooksireland.ie Conference
Graphic with a white rectangle on a green patterned background. The text headline reads 'Closing this week' and underneath 'applications close 29th November 5pm'. Above the white rectangle is a graphic of a green bell on a black circle. The background is a repeat graphic of the green Laureate na nÓg logo on a lighter green background.
