In the Picture at Westside, Tuam and Ballinasloe Libraries

The Play4All Committee of Galway City and County launched the booklet “In the Picture” recently in Westside Library . An exhibition of the books and posters associated with the collection will be exhibited till the end of February at Westside Library and during February and March in Tuam and ED Ballinasloe/Ballinasloe library.

A travelling exhibition will also be made available for other groups to borrow. For further information please contact ourselves, the Library Service or the City and County Childcare committee. View the booklet here.

The In The Picture campaign is about encouraging publishers, illustrators and writers to embrace diversity - so that disabled children, who have been virtually invisible until recently, are included alongside others in illustrations and story lines in books for young readers. It is not an attempt to create a separate strand of children’s literature, tackling disability issues. People from every area concerned with children's books - from makers to sellers to buyers can influence and be part of this changing culture.
