Kerry county library services have donated 1,000 books to children using family resource centre services and childing living in direct provision centres throughout the county. Funding provided by the Dormant Accounts Scheme 2020 and Kerry County Council for children from marginalised and socially excluded communities supported the initiative. This time they decided to focus on children using family resources centre services and children living in direct provision centre. In the coming days, 1,000 Christmas books, suitable for pre-school children, will be gifted to children in direct provision centres and children who are clients of the many family resource centres across Kerry. Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr Patrick Connor Scarteen launched the initiative at Killarney Library and commended Kerry county library's work for the donation.
