Your local library
Don't forget your local library. Your membership card is all you need to access to
www.borrowbooks.ie and find books nationwide. Also, ask them about the
possibility of getting a Block Card, which allows you to borrow 12 o more books at a
time. The number really depends on the library stock. All you need to say is that you
are the children's primary educator.
