Easter Fun For Kids

Bring your kids to the library this Easter for some fun activities. 

Storytime takes place every Thursday at 3pm with stories, nursery rhymes, songs and colouring, the more children involved the more fun it is. Art & Craft sessions will take place on Wednesday and Thursdays during the Easter break. Don't forget our parent & toddler morning which takes place every Friday from 10.30am - 12.00pm, its a great way to meet other parents and have some adult conversation while at the same time introducing your child to the world of books!

A North Side Story - The Twits by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl's classic book the Twits has been nominated as Limerick's book for the northside, as part of a unique programme aimed at getting children into reading.  Almost 100 local primary school children were at the library for the launch of the Limerick Northside Book programme. 

An initiative of the Northside Local Education Committee , every child in the area will have the opportunity to read the bestseller, with a number of events bringing the book to life taking place in the library and the local schools over the next few weeks.

At the launch the children were treated to an impromptu reading from the book by local actor Myles Breen, while northside Councillor Michael Hourigan was also present to join in on the fun.
