Brilliant Bookville Workshops

Thanks to the fantastic library services in Kilkenny and to the Bookville festival, our classes could take part in online events as part of this festival, as well as attend in-person readings and workshops.

Junior classes enjoyed some readings with Karyn from Castlecomer library.

3rd and 4th class had a really engaging session online with Kilkenny author Ann Murtagh, who writes historical fiction. Ann told the class all about how she researches for her books, and read from her latest book, The Climbing Boys.

The pupils from 3rd to 6th classes attended workshops in the library, with the amazing author Caroline Busher.

Caroline led the pupils in some writing exercises, introduced them to some of her books such as The Boy Who Slipped Through Time.
