Abbie McGowan of Tubbercurr­y Community Library said at the recent launch of the project, “Tubbercurr­y Community Library is delighted to host ‘ The Next Chapter’ exhibition in conjunctio­n with the Western Drama Festival. By hosting this art exhibition, we feel that this is a new chapter for Tubbercurr­y Library as well.

“We are fully staffed, open five days a week every week, currently running the Healthy Ireland and Work Matters initiative­s, and we’re hoping that this exhibition will be the start of many more collaborat­ions with groups and societies in the area. 75 years is a huge achievemen­t for any community group and it is our sincere hope that the library will be here to serve the community for just as long!”

The exhibition is open to all with an interest in exhibiting.
