Cruinniú na nÓg, a great day in dlr LexIcon on Saturday 23rd June

dlr LexIcon celebrated Cruinniú na nÓg, a day of celebration of creativity and youth with a wonderful Family Day that also launched our dlr Libraries Summer Stars reading programme for children for 2018.

 

Lego, Bollywood dancing, salsa and hip hop, yoga story time, drawing and craft workshops, music workshops, circus skills and our favourite mime artist Marcel so What as well as the Tallest Lady stilt walker, all entertained us last Saturday 23rd June 2018. The perfect weather conditions meant many activities took place in the sun drenched LexIcon garden. Our Cathaoirleach Councillor Ossian Smyth and Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan, joined children and families at the wonderful creative range of free activities that ran throughout the day.

 

We also had close to 300 children sign up to our Summer Reading programme! The programme runs for July and August nationwide. Read more about the programme here.  Don't forget to encourage all the children you know to sign up and to keep reading all summer long!

 

Thanks to all who came and enjoyed our inaugural Cruinniú na nÓg at dlr LexIcon.
