Cruinniú na nÓg 2023 at Kilkenny Library
Kilkenny Library service are planning a fun filled celebration for children and young people, filled with interactive events. We have planned events in our library branches from City to rural across the county to reach as many children as possible, and our programme has been developed based on successful events run previously for children from all walks of life.
We are incorporating STEM themes into these fun activities, where children will be encouraged to use their imagination to develop and personalise their creative experience.
