  • Cork City Libraries Summer Reading Challenge 2019 | Join Red and His Friends for a Summer of Reading Fun | Register Now
    corkcitylibraries.ie Events Edition July/August 2019 18 Photo Claire Keogh You hold in your hands a very special publication – the first Events of the New City. On 31 May many months of planning and preparation came to fruition when Ballincollig, Glanmire, and Blarney Libraries joined the City Libraries network. They join the other seven libraries – the City Library on Grand Parade, - Hollyhill, Blackpool and Mayfield libraries on the Northside, as well as Douglas, Tory Top and Bishopstown Libraries south of the river, making a much stronger library network. Cork City Council Libraries do not see the revision of the City Council boundary as the City Council Library Service expanding and, in the process, absorbing three new libraries and the surrounding catchment areas. Rather, we see it as an opportunity to create a new Library Service for a New City. We bring with us all that we as a service have learned in 127 years, our many strengths and achievements. We must be – and will be – open to other ideas and ways of doing things. We will be open to the experiences of the staff and patrons of our new libraries, in Ballincollig, Glanmire, and Blarney. Highlights this summer include Heritage Week, which runs from 17 to 25 August, ‘Branch Out and Read’, our summer reading challenge for kids as well as ‘The Summer School of Creative Writing’ which takes place in the City Library, Ballincollig and Glanmire Libraries. The new city will also see a host of exhibitions on display in all our libraries. Looking forward to seeing you, your family and friends in your local library during the first summer of our New City.
