22/03/2023 - EUROPE DIRECT Letterkenny to host event for Ukrainian families

EUROPE DIRECT Letterkenny, based inCentral Library, will showcase their range of children’s books available in the Ukrainian language on Thursday 23^rd March at 6.30pm. The event will be free, and refreshments will be provided. These new books have been catalogued in the Cyrillic alphabet so it will make the books much easier to request on the Donegal Libraries website.

Donegal Libraries have been very active in providing high quality services to all of our users. In addition to our existing and new book stock in the Ukrainian language we have sourced DVDs. In association with Donegal County Childcare Committee we host weekly Stay and Play storytime sessions in seven libraries (Central, Buncrana, Carndonagh, Bundoran, Twin Towns, Milford and Leabharlann Phobail na Rosann). We also offer basic English classes in conjunction with Fáilte Isteach on Wednesday mornings at 10.30 am in Central Library, Letterkenny.  Libraries are welcoming, all inclusive spaces where membership and access is free. We have a wide range of services including eBooks, eMagazines, eNewspapers, research with Encyclopaedia Britannica and Oxford University Press. You can also learn online with Universal Class, Transparent Languages and Touch-type Read & Spell.

We are delighted to have a working partnership with Joleen Kuyper Machado, New Communities Manager

Donegal Local Development CLG to promote their Supporting our Communities Project. Edel Finn, Old Lion Publishing House and the Universal Reading Foundation in Poland have also supported us to provide these fun and exciting books to children for their pleasure and enjoyment.

Cuirfidh “EUROPE DIRECT” Leitir Ceanainn, atá lonnaithe sa Leabharlann Lárnach, imeacht ar siúl, ar Dhéardaoin 23 Márta ag 6.30 i.n ina mbeidh réimse leabhar do pháistí a bhfuil fáil orthu san Úcráinis ar taispeáint. Tá catalógú déanta ar na leabhair nua seo san aibítir Choireallach a chiallaíonn go mbeidh sé níos fusa iarratas ar leabhar a dhéanamh ar shuíomh idirlín Leabharlanna Dhún na nGall.

Tá Leabharlanna Dhún na nGall an-ghníomhach maidir le seirbhísí d’ardchaighdeán a chur ar fáil dár gcuid úsáideoirí. Anuas ar an stoc leabhar reatha agus an stoc leabhar nua atá againn san Úcráinis táimid tar éis teacht ar DVDanna chomh maith. I gcomhpháirt le Coiste Cúram Leanaí Chontae Dhún na nGall, cuirimid seisiúin sheachtainiúla ‘Fan agus Bí ag Súgradh’ ar siúl i seacht leabharlann áitiúla (Leabharlann Lárnach, Bun Cranncha, Carn Domhnach, Bun Dobhráin, Baile na nGallóglach agus Leabharlann Phoiblí na Rosann). Cuirimid ranganna Béarla do thosaitheoirí ar fáil i gcomhpháirt le ‘Fáilte Isteach’ gach maidin Chéadaoin ar 10.30 r.n sa Leabharlann Lárnach Leitir Ceanainn. Is spásanna fáiltiúla ionchuimsitheacha iad leabharlanna ina mbíonn an bhallraíocht agus an rochtain ar a gcuid seirbhísí saor in aisce. Tá raon leathan seirbhísí againn lena n-áirítear e-leabhair, e-irisleabhair, e-nuachtáin anuas ar bheith ábalta ar thaighde a dhéanamh le Ciclipéid Britannica agus ‘Oxford University Press’. Is féidir foghlaim ar líne chomh maith le ‘Universal Class’, ‘Transparent Languages’ agus an córas tadhall-chlóscríofa ‘Léigh agus Scríobh’ a úsáid.

Tá an-áthas orainn páirtnéireacht oibre a bheith againn le Joleen Kuyper Machado, Bainisteoir Pobail Nua de chuid Forbairt Áitiúil Dhún na nGall CLG chun a dtionscadal ‘Tacaíocht a thabhairt dár bPobail’ a chur chun cinn. Thacaigh Edel Finn, ‘Old Lion Publishing House’ agus ‘Universal Reading Foundation’ sa Pholainn chun na leabhair spraíúla seo a chur ar fáil do pháistí ar mhaithe lena gcuid pléisiúir agus taitnimh.

Bunchloch d’obair an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh é tacaíocht a thabhairt do mhuintir na hÚcráine. Tá EUROPE DIRECT Leitir Ceanainn ar fáil chun do chuid ceisteanna mar gheall ar an AE (Aontas Eorpach) anuas ar an méid seo a leanas a chur ar fáil:
