Join the Big Summer Read 2026

We are delighted to support Libraries NI's Big Summer Read, a free summer programme designed to keep primary school-aged children reading over the holidays.

As 2026 is the National Year of Reading, it’s the perfect time to build a positive reading routine! The theme this year is The Story Tree, and it is completely flexible with no set reading list—children can read books they enjoy at their own pace.

Please see attached posters for more information, including a list of events happening in July and August in Crossmaglen Library.
