Every year we host special events for Cruinniú na nÓg in our Thurles and Cashel branches. This year we have a great selection of activities and workshops that include Dance, Robotics, Drumming, Slime and a special Sensory workshop with Sense-sational kids. See the posters below for all the details😀😀

At its peak in 1848, around 200,000 children from all denominations were being fed and clad, many of whom would have otherwise perished from hunger and disease.

The exhibition will be on display until Friday, March 28th and can be viewed during the library opening hours.

Paul Strzelecki was a Polish humanitarian, who, as the main agent of the British Relief Association during the Great Famine, developed a visionary and exceptionally effective mode of assistance: feeding starving children directly through the schools.

Carrick-on-Suir Library is delighted to host 'A Forgotten Polish Hero of the Great Irish Famine: Paul Strzelecki's Struggle to Save Thousands', an exhibition presented by the Polish Embassy in Dublin.
