COMMUNITY LIBRARY
We are looking forward to Wednesday, April 19, for another afternoon of storytelling with Lou and Claire at 3 p. m.
On Thursday the 20th at 7 p. m. we will host a really unique Author Visit – Anne Enright interviews Claire Kilroy in a continuation of the Reader’s Voice series. The book being discussed is the Devil I know and we can place holds on it if you drop us a line or you can do it online via the Sligo library website. See artscouncil. ie/ Artsin- Ireland/ Literature/ The- Readers_- Voice/ andfacebook. com/ LaureateIrishFiction for more details on the event.
On Friday the 21st we have an arts and crafts event at 3 p. m., but it is waiting list only at this point – we do get cancellations though, so it is worth a shot if your little ones love working with clay.
Keep an eye out for the Easter Egg window display if you’re in town or passing by too, it is rather eggselent if we do say so ourselves. Huge thanks to the wonderful pupils of Scoil Mhuire gan Smal for their super bright and cheerful work. All events are free and open to all, invite a friend.
