Hello,
My name is Gillian and I am going to be the Library Branch Manager in Millstreet from July 2022. I am delighted to be given this opportunity to work in the library in my hometown. I have worked almost fifteen years in the library service where I was predominantly based in Macroom but I also did a lot of relief work in many other libraries across the county over the years.
I look forward to meeting and working with you all.
The Library is a wonderful service.
You can use some library services without becoming a member, you can read books/newspapers, consult reference material, print & photocopy documents in the library without being a member. However, you will need to join the library if you want to borrow books or other items, access online services & much more.
Trustworthy teenager available for childminding or part time work!
• adaptive and flexible
• kind and active with children

Some like the rain, some don’t, but we all need it at least the land and the world around us do. It’s when nice warm sunny days turn wet, windy and cold days come that it becomes hard to bear. Warm clothes which were consigned to the shelf for the summer are pulled out again leaving us with over stocked wardrobes, crooks at the back of the bedroom door, or any other place where they can be easily accessed in a moment of chill, or wild shower. It’s a time when winter and summer clothes have to learn to live together. Not something that we like, but have to accept. People coming home from sunny climes, tell us of long hours day in and day out of brilliant sunshine. Little more than flimsy gear to cover their sun-starved bodies as they cash in on their good value break. But we live in hope of an improved July with lots of sun.

Millstreet Day Centre is looking for ARTISTS/PAINTERS to come volunteer at the Day Centre. We have great interest from our clients & residents to try their hand at painting & we are looking for someone to lead the cause! Many people think that art practices like painting and drawing are just hobbies but research shows that art therapy can be a valuable approach for improving an older person’s physical and mental health. Starting a hobby such as painting has many benefits such as improved cognitive function & mood, enhanced motor skills, increased social interaction & improved memory.
If you have an hour to spare Mon to Thurs at 11.00am or 2.00pm – any type of art or painting would be hugely welcomed!! If you have the time or know someone that does please get in touch with the Centre on (029) 70926 or <email>

Monday June 20, and beautiful sun drenched day to herald in the longest day of the year. The turf is drying rapidly in the bog, making up for a late start and there is a vast increase in the number of patrons seeking peat fuel this year. Turf has been the saving grace of our people for centuries. Apart from giving employment it gave light and heat to the poorest of the poor. When oil was scarce during the 39/45 war we did our lessons by the light of the fire. From beginning to end turf gave exercise and hope to both man and beast who were involved in rescuing it from it’s bed of slush on mountains and flatlands. Turf was created when it built itself up over the centuries. The vegetation which grew on the boggy surface rotted down over the years and ever so slowly grew into tall banks ready for the day when man and shleán came to avail of it. The jelly-like surface held together only by a thin film of greenery. So bogs by nature are pretty inaccessible and in the old days the best help which was available to cope with it’s soft terrain was the humble ass. Men cut the turf and spread out on the ground to dry but getting it to hard ground by the roadside was in many cases done by a donkey. Creels or baskets strewn across the animal’s back were commonly used in the West of Ireland. A scene which featured in many a picture postcard, but not so around here, so homemade inventions were put together for the task. Day after day the nimble beast made the rounds from bank to roadside ferrying the precious turf on some sheet of tin or timber dray until the last ciraan was out. To be collected later by a powerful horse and crib and brought home. At home many turf sheds were placed a distance from the dwelling house, in a sort of effort to spare it. The word spare was applied to most things that time. Spare the turf, a cranky man could be heard saying to the wife, Spare that turf, you were a long way from the bank when I was cutting it. But he still had to get his dinner. Once home the turf had to be brought into the house for the fire. So a jute or meal bag was the normal receptacle. Young lads were usually the ones for this task, at least it was in our house. As he headed off bag in hand he would go with the warning to bring the dry ones and as he filled his sack with sods he had to do his best to obey orders, and you dare not give a back answer or a well placed clip in the ear could follow. Needless to say sods of turf got broken in transit, small pieces were known as Ciaraans, while more turned to dust and was called turf bruss. Ciaraans were very welcome when the fire was bad. They were very like lumps of coal and they ignited very fast and always gave new life to a sulking hearth. On the other hand turf bruss or turf dust as some people called it was rarely used for anything. It’s hard for us now to imagine that the fuel which served us so well for centuries has now become a forbidden thing. It almost feels like the betrayal of an old friend.
