Walking home after school
Here

along the way from the Baltinglass Community Shop:

The lockdown saw
almost everything close down all over the world in 2020. The kids were sad
because they missed school and all their friends. However, after the initial
full lockdown, there were ease of restrictions periods in between and the
schools too were opened and closed for short periods depending on the
government regulations. So one time in October last year the kids were walking
home after school, Stratford Lodge, and as we passed the Baltinglass Community
Shop, we saw a trolley full of books in front of the shop.

The sign on the
trolley said ‘Free Books’ and the kids were surprised and happy to pick a book
from the trolley. I confirmed with the kind lady inside the shop and she said
it was a small initiative on their part to cheer up the community during the
pandemic days. That was a great initiative because my kids love reading books,
especially my eldest and he was so happy to pick up Harry Potter And The
Philosopher’s Stone. He loves reading and is a big fan of the Harry Potter book
and movie series. So thanks to BCAG for this small and kind gesture. Those who
want to donate to the Community Second-hand Shop can do so as Baltinglass
Community Action Group helps to fund various community projects for the people
of Baltinglass and we can all be a part of it.
