"You can never get enough books into the hands of young children" - (Dolly Parton), a sentiment we all share in Cavan County Library Services.

Through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, Dolly Parton helped foster a love of books, stories and reading in children across the world. A Literacy Champion who knew how crippling literacy difficulties can be.

If you need help with reading or writing contact Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board - CMETB or www.adultliteracyforlife.ie to find out how to take the first steps to improving your literacy.

A musician, actress, writer, business woman, philanthropist and many other things, we will 'pour a cup of ambition' in your honour. ☕️

Celebrating the Anniversary of Ukrainian Independence.

The Ukrainian community gathered in Johnston Central Library to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Ukrainian Independence.

The celebrations focused on the importance of Literature as a way of preserving identity and culture and those in attendance were treated to poetry readings and a musical performance.

Cavan County Library Service were delighted to accept a very generous donation of Ukrainian language books which were provide by AURI's 'Native Word' project supported by the International Charity Bazaar at the RDS in Dublin. These books will be available in the library for many to enjoy.

Thank you to An Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council for opening the event and to Sergiy Balan, Chairperson of the Ukrainian Association in the Republic of Ireland for organising such a wonderful event.
