Red Line Book Festival returns!

Step into the story... The Red Line Book Festival returns with a celebration of literature, storytelling, connection and creativity

Bronntanas at SDCC Libraries

Bronntanas is a celebration of the possibilities that the Irish language creates for families. You don't need to have perfect Irish to give this gift to your child. Ordinary life can be transformed into magical things - bedtime stories, conversations in the kitchen, trips to sports games.

Cruinniú na nÓg 2025 at South Dublin Libraries

Cruinniú na nÓg is Ireland’s national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18 — and the only celebration of its kind in the world. As part of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan, it offers young people across the country a chance to express themselves through hands-on creative activities — all completely free! This year at South Dublin Libraries, we’re turning up the volume with our theme: “Loud at the Library” — a joyful celebration of all things music. From the rhythm of traditional Irish tunes to the elegance of classical music, from spontaneous library busking to instrument-making workshops and beat-driven sessions, we’re filling our branches with sound, creativity, and community spirit. Whether you’re a young musician, a curious listener, or just want to make a little joyful noise, there’s something for everyone in this year’s Cruinniú na nÓg line-up. Join us and make some noise — in the best way possible!
