Carrick-on-Suir Library is delighted to host ‘A Forgotten Polish Hero of the Great Irish Famine: Paul Strzelecki’s Struggle to Save Thousands’, an exhibition presented by the Polish Embassy in Dublin.

Paul Strzelecki was a Polish humanitarian, who, as the main agent of the British Relief Association during the Great Famine, developed a visionary and exceptionally effective mode of assistance: feeding starving children directly through the schools. At its peak in 1848, around 200,000 children from all denominations were being fed and clad, many of whom would have otherwise perished from hunger and disease.

The exhibition will be on display until Friday, March 28th and can be viewed during the library opening hours.

Terriesa Torode is an English-born self-taught artist based in Ireland. Her background knowledge is rooted in horticulture where, for over 30 years, she became known and popular as a self-employed horticulturist, garden designer, and journalist throughout Co. Tipperary. These many years of experience allowed her to obtain membership to the Chartered Institute of Horticulture (M.C.I HORT).
Terriesa’s inspiration stems primarily from nature. She takes great delight in noticing shapes, colours, and textures of leaves. Admiring distant valleys and mountains, trees, flowers, and wildlife. Terriesa chose to challenge herself by exploring new illustrative styles.
This is Terriesa’s first exhibition in almost a decade having previously presented in Nenagh Library with her collection of painted acrylic slates. This exhibition “” explores mythological and natural scenes using watercolour and acrylic paint.
In 2022, while sitting at the beach, Terriesa was inspired to create a mermaid painting. This ended up being titled “Tranquillity” and is being showcased at this exhibition. From there, Terriesa added more details to her illustrated scenes, diving deeper into the depths of her skillset.
There are themes of comfort and peace throughout her work and are all very personal to Terriesa’s journey and experiences. There are also themes of dreamy mythology which Terriesa finds extremely inspiring.
“From here, I want to further experiment with textures of rocks and leaves. I strive for self-improvement in everything I do, whether in the garden, or on a canvas or paper. I very much hope you enjoy the exhibition I have been working on and piecing together over the last two years. If you enjoy my work a fraction as much as I have enjoyed this journey to-date, then I will be extremely proud of my efforts. Wishing you much fun exploring the rockpools, coves, castles, and meadows of my memories.”

Roscrea Library is delighted to host a beautiful exhibition of a collaborative appliqué quilt created by the QQI level 4 Design part-time learners at Roscrea Education Centre. Each participant was invited to explore the concept of “home” through fabric and stitch, crafting an individual piece that represents a personal space of comfort, belonging or significance.

This quilt is not just a collection of sewn fabric: it is a collective expression of identity, memory and place. Each appliqué square tells a unique story, yet when stitched together, they form a larger narrative of shared experiences and community. The process of creating this piece reflects on the intertwining of personal histories identities, and the sense of home that unites us all.

As an artwork, Threads of Home is an exploration of how we define ourselves through the spaces we inhabit and the connections we forge with others. It stands as a tribute to the strengths of women’s voices and the power of creative expression.

This fabulous collection will be on display in Roscrea Library until 1st May 2025
