It's September and that means one thing – back to school! If your reading habits have been waining and you need some brilliant books to help you get back into the swing of things, come along to one of our Book Clinics.

Visit our Book Doctors and chat to them about what you like reading. They will send you on your way to your local library or bookshop with a customised prescription for some fantastic new books to discover, supported by Children’s Books Ireland’s many reading resources.

Find them at the following events:
