A database of local organisations is being created on the library computer system and we plan to develop this service. There are 6 adult book clubs organized in the Library for older people. Book club members meet once a month to discuss books and writers, arrange author visits and trips to places of literary and historical interest. The Gramophone Circle in Hollyhill Library was launched in January 2000 and audiences have enjoyed various programmes featuring different types of music - mainly classical and operatic. Each programme is unique, reflecting the choice of the host.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
Its aim is to provide an opportunity for adults who want to speak Irish to come together for a chat, read magazines and newspapers and borrow books in Irish. Cassettes and book packs on learning Irish are provided also. Tel. 021 4277110. Tel. 021 4924290.
