Family Time at Your Library 2021 is being celebrated a bit differently by Cork County Library.  COVID restrictions have prevented us from having events in libraries so instead they are encouraging families to still visit them to borrow books, bring them home and read them together during the month of December.

All families who participate and email a photo of their family reading library books together at home will be put in a raffle and could win some great family prizes.  First prize is an annual Conservation Pass for Fota Wildlife Park and runners up could win day passes to West Cork Model Railway Village in Clonakilty or Titanic Experience in Cobh. 

 They would love to encourage children and families to keep reading and make sure that they realise that their local library is still open for book borrowing.  All Cork County Library branch and mobile libraires are participating so all families and children have to do is call to their local Cork County Library, borrow some books, read them together at home and send us a photo tocorkcountylibrary@corkcoco.ie.

We were delighted to distribute the beautiful Christmas cards today.

Well done to everybody.

It is an old tradition for 5th and 6th classes to make a Christmas cake. Just like every other year, we kept the tradition, using the usual recipe and using no electric mixers ! Just some good old elbow grease.

The children mixed the ingredients perfectly using a wooden spoon, while chatting happily and listening to Christmas songs.

The mixtures turned out brilliantly.

We are all eager to eat the cakes after the delicious Christmas dinner as we are certain the cakes will be scrumptious.

Dunmanway Credit Union have given away 5 amazing Hampers full of treats to be shared and enjoyed with their family while watching the Late Late Toy Show.🦉

The boys and girls submitted wonderful colourings and paintings or Christmas drawing 🎨 to enter into the draw.

We were delighted to get a phone call this evening telling us that D. Hurley is the winner.

Congratulations!
