A Cavan senator says it's important to remember the importance of local libraries as a free resource for people.
Joe O'Reilly says there are a number of activities in the country but libraries in particular offer a great opportunity for people.
This year junior infants in Cavan and Monaghan benefitted from the My Little Library Initiative.
This offered children starting school a chance to collect a bag which contained resources to make starting school a smoother transition, in both Irish and English.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Senator O'Reilly explained the importance of the resource.
