Join Meath Libraries for the Children’s Book Festival this October! With over 90 events for primary schools, there’s something for everyone.  

Libraries are hosting Zine Workshops, Interactive Storytelling sessions, Author Visits, Creative Writing workshops and more. Design a picture board based on your favourite book and win a special workshop for your class with author Alan Nolan! 

Don’t miss the Family Friendly Day in Ashbourne Library on Saturday, October 12, an amazing day of creativity and fun for the whole family. 

The day will include a creative writing session, Halloween stories with crafts, a badge-making session, and, to top it off, a very seasonal storytelling session with the master storyteller Kieran Fanning.  He will delight and scare the audience with hair-raising tales from his new book, Haunted Ireland (illustrated by Mark Hill and published by Gill Publishers).

Pictured at the launch in Navan Library was:

Meath County Council Cathaoirleach Cllr. Sharon Tolan, illustrator Karen Harte, teachers and 3rd Class pupils of St. Joseph’s Mercy, Navan, Executive Librarian Eve Morrisson and County Librarian Maedhbh Rogan-McGann.
