QUESTION NO. 20

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive to provide details of the quantities of books that are available in different languages in the large story telling books stock.

REPLY:

A check has been carried out with all branch libraries about the availability of books in different languages in the large story telling books stock. It appears that currently our stock consists of books predominately in the English language. There are a proportion of these large size books also available in Irish. It seems that no branch library currently stocks any other language in this category. We will engage with the library acquisitions team with a view to expanding our collection going forward to include other languages.
