📖Gulliver @ 300: Still Relevant After All These Years 📖

Join Dr Brendan Twomey for an entertaining look at the life and times of Jonathan Swift, the memorable characters and comic set pieces of Gulliver’s Travels, and the extraordinary influence the book has had on popular culture. Discover how Gulliver, Lilliput and the Yahoos became recognised around the world, and why Swift’s humour and satire remain remarkably relevant today.

📖Children's Bookbinding Workshop📖

Join fine art bookmaker Caroline Byrne in Charleville Mall Library for a children's bookbinding workshop, making a variety of little books from simple stitching and folding techniques.

These easy to make books and ‘zines’ are lightweight and small enough to fit in a back pocket. What you choose to put between the pages is only limited by your imagination. 🖍️

This workshop is suitable for children aged 8 -12.
