On Saturday 19th September a large crowd of approx 300 people turned out for the Reading Tree Presentation of Medals and Certificates in Nenagh Library. Over 180 children took part in this year’s Reading Tree, making it our best ever. Hopefully, we’ll beat that record next year! We gave out 140 medals and certs on the day and in the intervening days handed out another 44 to those who couldn’t make it to the Presentation. The children were delighted with their medals, kindly sponsored this year by O’Mahony’s book shops, and loved the drama of being able to come up (to loud cheers) and be presented with them. The arrival of minerals and Taytos afterwards topped off the day for them.

Herakles and the Stympalian Birds a new piece of public art by one of Ireland’s foremost artists John Kindness was unveiled at The Source Arts Centre & Library in Thurles last week.
The launch was performed by award-winning Belfast born writer Ciaran Carson.
Greek Mythology informs the subject matter of the work, specifically one of the Greek hero’s (Herakles) labours in which he was asked to destroy a dangerous flock of water birds. The artist has done quite a bit of work with the Herakles myth and feels that he is brainless brawn personified. Unlike the trials and vision quests of other heroes, his labours are set pieces, carried out at the behest of his
