Celebrate Irish Culture

Picture
We are celebrating Irish culture in the month of March! 

​Our patrons had a ton of fun with our first St. Patrick's Day SELFIE Scavenger Hunt.  Take a look at these great photos submitted from our patrons!  Congratulations to our winner Elizabeth Scattereggia and may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Did you know our Library Director, Daragh O'Connor is from Ireland?  To help us celebrate, Daragh put together a video talk to share with our patrons stories of his family in Ireland along with beautiful photos.  He pays tribute to Tough times in Tullow – 1940s to the 1960s, one of the written works  by his father, Eugene O'Connor.  Eugene's book captures the atmosphere of the time, and the people and local characters whose memory lives on...

Thank you for sharing your family's stories with us Daragh!  If you enjoyed the video, please hit the "like" button.

For the past 20+ years, we have been hosting the Bantry Boys, an Irish Folk Band but due to the pandemic this year, we will not be able to have our annual celebration.  We sure will miss the lively music, our jovial crowd and of course the array of refreshments and soda bread! Check out our slides show and video from the performance from a few years back!
