Anna's on hand with the books!

Last month, people of all ages around the country were urged to 'Squeeze in a Read' by Ireland Reads, a public libraries initiative, in partnership with publishers, booksellers, authors and others under the Government's 'Keep Well' campaign, while World Book Day was celebrated on last Thursday, March 4th.
Librarian Anna Collins works with Cork County Council Library and Arts Service in Kanturk and was among the many staff members in libraries throughout the country who were delighted to highlight the pleasures of reading, a wonderful recreation that brightens the darkest of these days of lockdown. "Since the arrival of the pandemic, we utilised our network throughout the country to liaise with local community groups so that through the Libraries we can help people out" Anna explained.

Clare Reads Programme of Events confirmed

Clare Reads chose to promote Niall Williams‘
This is Happiness last month.
This reading initiative was part of the
Ireland Reads campaign and Clare County Council’s Keep Well Campaign. Over 500 books were distributed for free in County Clare in February and this programme of events will support the reading and further explore the themes of the book.
Extracts from the book will be read each night at 9pm on Clare FM starting on the 1st of March for two weeks. Many are finding it difficult to read a book at the moment so it was important that people had the opportunity to access it in a variety of ways. It will also be podcasted on the Clare FM website.
