Imagination and creativity were flowing in Adare Library yesterday when pupils from St. Nicholas N.S. and Croagh N.S. attended creative writing workshops facilitated by Helena Close. We think we have some future authors in our midst 📝

**These workshops were supported by Poetry Ireland / Éigse Éireann **
