But wait what’s this? Dublin City Libraries have just added something new to their collection of online resources, and it has been described by the New York Times as, “the closest thing to a classical Netflix”? Hello Medici.tv. Goodbye long outdoor summer evenings.
Congratulations to Senior Librarians Noreen Herlihy and Adrienne Gilmartin, also their respective teams, for all the great work. The Awards recognise inspiring adult, community, and further education initiatives across Ireland.
Sé ceann de na cuimhní is láidre líon ó laethanta m’óige ná an cumhracht ó na leabhair scoile nua cheannaithe le linn mí Lúnasa nuair cheannaítear iad ón siopa bídeach i Sráid an Teampaill. Samhail iontais a bhí le teacht, na leathnaigh gan léamh, tíortha rúndiamhrachta gan rian choise ós comhair m’aghaidh amach. Bhraitheas an mothú céanna le déanaí nuair bhuaileadh an riar maith de leabhair úr Ghaeilge ar mo dheasc san leabharlann.
