The storyteller’s tradition continues this year again prior to the festival with readings and open mic from various storytellers, writers and poets to be held in Westside Library. We are delighted to have novelist Fred Johnston and Playwright Gerry McDonnell appearing on Tuesday 24th from 6.30pm to perform and on Wednesday 25th from 6.30pm Storytellers Kevin Higgins and Susan Millar Du Mars recite some poems and tales. Both events are open to the public and enthusiasts are encouraged to read some of their own material.

Laoise Ní Chomhraí
We are delighted to announce that Laoise Ní Chomhraí a local Westside writer and national school teacher will be reading at the Festival on Tuesday 24th at 11.30 in Westside Library from her new children's book "Ag Taisteal le Tarlach sa tSeapain". We welcome all and encourage young children 8-12 years to attend.
Ag Taisteal le Tarlach sa tSeapain
Leabhar taistil don aos óg. Buailimid le Tarlach agus é ar a shlí chun na Seapáine, chun bualadh le cara cleite atá aige ann. Faighimid léargas breá anseo ar shibhialtacht eile. Chaith an t-údar tréimhse sa t-Seapáin agus cuireann sí go leor den chultúr sin inár láthair – iomrascáil na bhfear ramhar, origami agus, go deimhin, na héadaí traidisiúnta a chaitheann na Seapánaigh agus na bianna éagsúla a itheann siad. Féasta ceart de leabhar!
A junior travel book in which Tarlach goes a-roving – all the way to Japan. This fascinating book will offer young readers a glimpse of another civilization. The author spent a considerable time in Japan and introduces us to many of its strange delights – various forms of martial arts, the unique art of origami and, indeed, a veritable smorgasbord of tastes and sounds!
