Cruinniú na nÓg 2022 - Have your say!
Calling all children and young people aged 0-18 yrs!

Cruinniú na nÓg takes place on Saturday 11 June 2022. On this day, we celebrate creativity in young people and encourage their participation in cultural and creative activities.

If you're a child or young person living in the County, we want to hear from you. Is there something you've always wanted to try, maybe play a musical instrument, dance, act, build  or invent something?

Cruinniú na nÓg is YOUR day! Let us know what you'd like to do on 11 June by filling in one of our "Have your Say" forms. We look forward to hearing from you!

Spring-Clean at dlr LexIcon!
It's spring-cleaning time at dlr LexIcon and we're delighted to offer you some duplicate postcards, booklets, periodicals and posters for free! We have a table on Level 4 and 2 tables on Level 5 so do have a browse and help yourself.
We have been working hard on our journals/periodicals collection of late and binding runs of key titles that complement our Irish Author Collection on Level 5. Thanks to regular subscriptions and the many generous donors who have supplemented our holdings of titles such as Books Ireland, The Dublin Review, History Ireland and Poetry Ireland Review, these bound volumes are sure to be an excellent resource for students and researchers alike.

International Women's Day: campaign theme for 2022 is #BreakTheBias
