The award-winning Kinsale Library will celebrate its first birthday on Saturday the 17th of August with a free family fun day. The state-of-the-art library has already welcomed more than 100,000 visitors since it first opened in August 2023.
The birthday festivities will include a puppet show, concerts and talks, all events are free to attend with no booking required. The concerts include performances by Ballinspittle Comhaltas as well as a guitar and singalong concert with Aengus Kiralowski.
Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Joe Carroll said, �Kinsale Library is a spectacular facility both inside and out and has become a tourist attraction in itself. The library is ten times larger than the previous premises and with 25,000 items available to borrow, its stock has increased fivefold.
The �4.8m tax payer funded refurbishment project was undertaken by Cork County Council with the support from the Department of Rural and Community Development under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund.
