Library Ireland Week will take place from Sunday 3rd December to Saturday 9th December 2023!
The theme for the week is ‘Libraries are for Everyone’ #LIW23
Library Ireland Week is a celebration of libraries and the people who work in libraries throughout Ireland celebrating their dedication, commitment and influence on the individuals and communities they serve. It showcases libraries unique resources, their ability to provide democratic, nurturing, educational, creative, open and welcoming places for all.
During the month of December, Waterford Libraries invites you to take some time out from the busy Winterval and Christmas activities to pause and relax at our library branches. Read the newspapers, chill out with your family at one of our library storytimes or craft sessions, or browse our carefully chosen book displays of new books and cosy Christmas reads for all ages.
Events taking place during December in Waterford Libraries are detailed on our Events section and our social media: Facebook, X & Instagram.
Events around the country are detailed on the Library Ireland Week website www.libraryirelandweek.ie.
Library Ireland Week is an annual initiative of the Library Association of Ireland organized by a voluntary taskforce reporting into the Library Council of the Library Association of Ireland.
