Cathal popped into the National Library of Ireland to celebrate World Book Day 2026. Students came along to special workshops from some of the Irish authors involved. The event was also livestreamed into classrooms around the country. Check it out!
Students in Co Longford have discovered a new love of reading, after a project saw everyone in their local community reading the same book, The Case of the Vanishing Painting, at the same time.
