Mayo Library 💚❤️📚

A throwback to the past here from the @RTEArchives with a great piece on the mobile @MayoLibrary In early 1981 our library service had two mobile libraries covering up to 1000 miles per week across 93 stops. Check out the video here: rte.ie/archives/2016/…

#StormAmy is starting to make itself felt in #Mayo, with a power outage in #Belmullet Library leading to early closure today. We hope to be back with you at 11am tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

One determined little lady didn't let the weather stop her from attending storytime in #Ballyhaunis Library this morning. Well done to Zara, who enjoyed a cosy read in the beanbag afterwards! #LibraryLife #LibraryLive

Most events are held during school time, to give classes a chance to visit, but watch this space for details of mid-term events in some of our libraries.

We're delighted to let you know that our #ChildrensBookFestival month has kicked off here in #Mayo Library service, and we'll be busy over the next few weeks welcoming authors, illustrators and storytellers to our libraries.

It's currently bucketing down in #Mayo - hope we won't be needing flotation devices to get home safely! This one caught our eye from a pile of new books this morning. 🌧🌧🌧

Lovely to meet @adrianweckler at #Castlebar Library - he spoke excellently about AI - its positives and its negatives to a very appreciative audience. #SkillsForLife
