To celebrate Cruinniú na nÓg on Saturday 7^th June, Millstreet Library are hosting a workshop for 9 – 12-year-olds in Millstreet Library at 2 30 pm – 4 00 pm.

It is a Drypoint workshop, which is a printmaking technique in which an image is incised into a metal plate or acetate with a hard pointed needle. These scratches on the surface hold ink and can be printed onto paper using a printing press.

There are still places available!  If you are in the area and would like to join us, we would love to see you there.

Come along and enjoy the fun – everybody’s welcome!

My “Little Library Book Bags” for all children starting school this year are available in Millstreet Library.

 

To help children to navigate starting school, libraries have put together a bag with books and resources just for them that can be collected at any library.

The ‘My Little Library Book Bag’ initiative is a collaboration between libraries, the Department of Rural and Community Development, and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth as part of the First 5 Strategy.

As part of the initiative, a ‘My Little Library Book Bag’ is available free for every child starting school in 2025 to help them to prepare for this big step. Children and their parents or guardians can collect the bags at any library throughout the Country from 9th of May 2025.

Each of the My Little Library Book Bag contains:

• A book on starting school and a second book on making friends or being comfortable to be yourself
• Their very own library card and special ‘My Little Library’ cardholder
• A range of resources for parents/children to support the transition to primary school, including a copy of Rufus Handwashing Storybook

Book bags are available in both Irish and English.

Libraries can’t wait to welcome all the 4-, 5- and 6-year-old children in to collect their book bags and begin their library membership journey.

We hope that once they visit the library to pick up their book bag, our new library members and their families will come back regularly to keep their bag filled up with borrowed books and to take part in story-times, classes and all the other events we have to offer at the library.

Today at Millstreet Library, we welcomed a wonderful group for a hand-painted tote bag workshop led by artist Amanda Wright.  This creative session was part of the Bealtaine Festival 2025, a celebration of arts and creativity as we age.

Thank you to everyone who attended and Amanda Wright for a fabulous workshop.
