Summer Events:
On Tuesday 10th July, a large crowd of children gathered to hear the magical stories from Galway based Storyteller Clare Murphy. Clare enthralled the children with tales from lands, far and wide. Clare amazed the children further with her juggling workshop. Over 20 children took part in making juggling balls from a mixture of flour, rice and balloons…it can be done!! She then proceeded to show the children how to juggle… Tuam seems to have many budding jugglers in its midst.
On Wednesday 11th July, an art and craft workshop entitled “Beautiful butterflies, gruesome grubs and beastly bugs” took place in the library. Nineteen children took part and made scary looking insects.
