Teen Week 2014 in Shannon and Kilrush

Teen Week 2014 will be celebrated by Clare County Library from the 18th to the 21st of March in Shannon and Kilrush branch libraries. This is the fourth year that the library service has programmed a series of artistic and cultural events exclusively for teenagers. The week serves a dual purpose raising awareness of reading, art and culture among young adults in County Clare and it gives library staff an opportunity to promote its bookstock and electronic resources for this age group.

The programme is supported by teachers and pupils from local second level schools who appreciate the scheduling of a free, week-long festival for second level students at their local library. The same events are scheduled for both branches on alternate days and the response through bookings to date has been very encouraging.

This year’s events include video production workshops, a novel exploration of great literature and hands-on experience of making music through digital technology. More information...
