Crinniú na nÓg 2025

Yesterday we participated once again in the wonderful Crinniú na nÓg – Irelands’s national day of creativity for children – with some busy and fun children’s bookmaking workshops in Foxford and Kiltimagh Libraries. Huge thanks are due from us to the workshop funders Creative Ireland and Mayo County Council, to Kiltimagh and Foxford Libraries, and to all the creative children that took part in both workshops – looking forward to next year already! It really is a fantastic thing to have such a special national event for children, with amazing events happening all across the country on that day each year.
