Ireland’s third Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) week runs from 20-29 September in conjunction with European Sustainable Development Week and we have a number of events lined up to celebrate.
Join Caroline in creating poetry by highlighting words on retired library book pages and making it shine with your own unique design! Also known as 'blackout poetry', this activity allows children to incorporate their own visual style to reinforce the meaning of a poem.
Suitable for children aged 9 - 12 year.
This session will be nature themed as part of our Sustainable Development Week 2024 programming.
Join the Athlone Library Staff as we work on some fun craft projects using recycled materials. Ages 9 to 12.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the 'Green Gather' event scheduled for this coming Saturday 21st Sept in Mullingar Library has been postponed. We will post details of the new date and time as soon as it is confirmed.
If you’d like to reduce your environmental footprint, save money on groceries, support your community and local food systems, and enjoy a fun and interactive session with like-minded individuals, this food waste workshop is for you! We dive into the critical issue of food waste and explore practical solutions for reducing it in our daily lives. Participants will learn effective strategies for meal planning, and creative ways to repurpose leftovers, all aimed at minimizing waste. We will also taste some delicious results!
