It's so busy I can't do the induction until end of May, which is brilliant as once you're all set up you can come and go. kilkennylibrary.ie/eng/our_serv...

It's #IrelandReads Day! Go forth and read something comforting, fun, exciting, educational, interesting, useful, hilarious, heartbreaking, or whatever you fancy, today. And - if you haven't already - join your local library! It's the best gift you can give yourself. 📚🎊📚🎊

A screenshot of a post on the Sinéad O'Hart Threads account, which reads: It's #IrelandReads Day, and I'm proud to be an Irish author with books on shelves up and down the country - library shelves, bookshop shelves, and readers' shelves! Today's a day to celebrate reading in all its forms (books, audio, graphic novels... it's all good). Thanks from my heart to the shops and libraries who stock my books, and to the readers who read them. Happy reading! @librariesireland. Images beneath show a library display from Wexford Library with Irish children's books, and a display from Gorey Library with The Eye of the North prominently shown.

Ordered this book (though not in French!) through #LibrariesIreland after reading a very positive review in @interzone.press IZ 300. I'll have to wait a while since the available copies are already out... #Books #SpecFic

A hand holding up a copy of the French edition of THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS from Editions Bragelonne. The title in French is “Les Portes de Lumière” and there is a sticker on it in French listing the three awards it has won (the Nebula, Crawford, and Locus for first novel)

'Chat gpt isn't the Messiah it's just a very pretty technology' loved this from journalist Barry McCall today at the Irish Public Libraries Conference! An interesting positive take on the use of AI for Libraries! #LAIPLC2024 #LibrariesIreland
