To mark Irish Sign Language Awareness Week , Douglas Library were delighted to welcome children from St Columba’s Girls National School with facility for Deaf Children to a special signed viewing of Eugene Eyebrow by Brigid Hassett. Great fun was had by all the pupils, Eugene Eyebrows went down a treat, and each pupil went back to school with a special library bag filled with library goodies and colouring projects to enjoy. Featured at Mayfield Library this month was “Lighting the Way”. This HSE initiative promoted suicide awareness with a beautifully lit pyramid of hope at the library entrance. Alongside is a wide range of support literature and organisation information. All coordinated by Jacinta McCormack and P atty O’Brien. There are also ‘Little Bags of Hope of Hope ’ for library visitors to take away. These contain little items like a coin, a marble, a teabag, a message ….. all of which have a symbolic meaning aimed at cultivating a sense of resilience and togetherness in us all. The management and staff of Cork City Libraries were delighted to see a semblance of normal life returning to our libraries this month with live events and public access to computers. Albeit slowly and in a cautious manner we look forward to hosting launches and welcoming groups, schools, and organisations inside our doors as the months progress.
