This International Women's Day we remember the women of the 1916 Rising and their place in Irish history. You can discover more about these women and their determined commitment to Ireland’s revolutionary movement in a new book Richmond Barracks 1916: We were there, 77 women of the Easter Rising.
This collection, 1916: The Women behind the Men, offers an insight into the integral role of women before, during and in the aftermath of the Rising. Although it is well known that Countess Constance Markievicz fought in St Stephen’s Green, other important roles played by women are perhaps less known.
Martina Chapman, National Coordinator of Media Literacy Ireland will highlight the important role that media has in our lives and give tips and advice on how to manage our relationship with media.
The theme for World Autism Acceptance Month in 2025 is 'Celebrate Differences'. It encourages us to see that each person is unique and their differences are a normal part of life.
A free bedtime story book and library card wallet are available at the library for all children of 4 years and under, to pick up and keep. This exciting initiative aims to engage all parents of young children to read stories with them at bedtime.
