Over ninety events have been organised for the Children’s Book Festival 2022, across Cork City libraries, the first in-person festival in two years.
The Children’s Book Festival is a month-long celebration and promotion of children’s books and stories. The festival takes place every October with a packed programme of events with authors, workshops, performances and crafts - all free of charge.
Accompanied by teachers, librarians and Deputy Lord Mayor, Cllr. Damien Boylan, fourth-class boys from Blarney CBS enjoyed a Lego Robotics workshop at the launch of the festival at the Grand Parade city library on Friday.
The workshop was under the guidance of a team from The Lifetime Lab@ The Old Cork Waterworks as part of a STEAM for all programme, a collaborative project between Cork City Libraries and The Lifetime Lab@ The Old Cork Waterworks.
