Local Studies Centre goes on tour

Clare County Library, as part of the Bealtaine festival, took a small section of the Local Studies Library on tour to Miltown Malbay on May 15th when library staff visited the Day Care Centre there. A selection of Clare Champion newspapers from the 1950s was transported to Miltown where extracts were read and discussed and memories were evoked. These newspapers are part of a complete set of Clare Champions dating back to 1903 which are housed at the Local Studies Centre on Harmony Row, Ennis. They are available to the public for reference use. A similar session will take place at Kilmaley Day Care Centre on Thursday 29th May.
