One Book One Community was launched in Tullamore yesterday.
Helping your child with literacy can also help to boost your own education journey as an adult.
That's the view of Regional Literacy Coordinator for LOETB Tamara Latham , as a new programme to bring people together through reading launches in Offaly.
One Book One Community Offaly held its launch at the Esker Arts Centre in Tullamore this week, aiming to unite people by reading the same book in Tullamore and Clara.
Ms Latham says it also encourages parents to return to education if needed:
