Writers at Waterford Libraries
Writers at Waterford Libraries inaugural programme took place in 2023. The series of writer events aimed to unite readers and writers through free, accessible events in their local library branches.
Featuring authors and poets such as Megan Nolan, Kevin Barry, Claire Keegan, Aingeala Flannery, Russ Parsons, Ethel Crowley, Mark Roper, Molly Twomey and Paul Flynn, Waterford Libraries presented a line-up of unique and engaging voices in Irish writing in a series of free talks at libraries throughout Waterford.
Waterford Libraries are delighted to work in partnership with the Irish Writers Centre and with funding from Creative Waterford and Dún Garbhán le Gaeilge to provide a series of creative writing courses for adults. All courses are free of charge, but places must be booked in advance.
The programme runs from August to mid-December and gives participants an opportunity to attend courses in both Irish and English with experienced, well-established writers in their fields. The workshops are either online or take place in library locations during the evenings or on Saturdays.
The closing date for all workshop applications is Friday 2nd August.
