It's Book Week and Newry Library is hosting events throughout the week.

For their youngest members they have Rhythm & Rhyme sessions on Friday at 11am (booking advisable). You can call 028 3026 4683 to book a place.

For adults they are re-introducing Tea and Newspapers (Thursday 9.30am)

With Friday's theme being 'Poetry' we will be having a 'Poetry and Pancake' hour from 11.30am and everybody is welcome.

We look forward to seeing all of our customers back in the library.

Welcoming Book Week First Minister Paul Givan said: “Within the pages of a book we can find knowledge, understanding and entertainment. Every book we read takes us on a journey. The best among them enrich who we are as people. Our libraries are not only a fantastic resource but a gateway to this world of discovery.”

Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill said: “We all know how valuable our libraries are, particularly in rural areas where they play such an important role in communities. They are a place where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities can come and make use of their many services.

“Book Week is all about the joy of reading – the pleasure it gives, the learning it brings and the impact it has on our lives. Reading can bring great comfort and enjoyment on an individual level, but it can also help to bring people together, connecting so many of us through shared experiences. So whether it’s your first book or you’re a seasoned reader, let’s all get the pages turning in Book Week.”
