Children from Merlin Woods Primary School had a fantastic time with Alan Nolan yesterday. They were highly entertained by his hilarious stories, great sense of humour, and funny drawings. One girl even said it was the best day of her life!

Hip hip Poohray - what a wonderful time we had here in Ballybane Library this morning where we were joined by over 40 children to celebrate 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh. We read stories, sang songs, played pass the parcel, had a treasure hunt and had fun pinning the tail on Eyeore. The children did lots of colouring and made birthday cards for Pooh and had a jolly old time.
Happy Birthday you silly old bear! 🎂🎉🎈🎁
