April in Westmeath Libraries means Spring Into Storytime! We want to help children discover a love of reading and books. All this month our libraries will be welcoming children and families in for stories and more.
This month we also have gardening workshops, visible mending, book clubs, exhibitions, and more. So read on for all our events.
We will be adding more events all the time - they'll be listed on our Events Page, or simply ask on your next visit to the library.

To enter call in to your local library and pick up an entry form.
Visible mending is the art of repairing clothing in a way that highlights rather than hides the repair. Come along to this workshop run by Roscommon Women's Network to learn how to creatively bring old clothes back into use.
