Am I banging on about Irish children's books again? Too right I am.
I did an online event this morning and barely a child could name an Irish children's writer.
There are so many world-class books from Irish children's writers - we need to get the information out there!

My Open Library is now available in #Lismore , #Dungarvan and #Tramore Libraries and allows registered My Open Libraries members self-service access to services from 8:00am – 10:00pm, 7 days a week!

Some good news! Today the government has provided €225,000 for the provision of a new mobile library for Waterford. I first raised this in 2019 when I proposed that the council would apply for a new mobile library. We are now to see the new mobile Library service in Waterford.

Wonderful visit & engagement from the students of Dungarvan College & Carriglea Cairde who enjoyed a talk with Bernard O’Connell at his “Kitchens Through Time” Exhibition in Dungarvan Library.
