‘Give It a Go’ This February in Local Libraries this February
Libraries in the Newry Mourne and Down area are inviting everyone to Give It a Go this February, with a programme of free events designed to inspire people to try something new, develop a skill, or enjoy a fresh experience in their local library.
From creativity and culture to wellbeing and everyday skills, libraries across Northern Ireland are hosting a wide variety of activities aimed at adults, families and those who may not regularly use library services.
This year, libraries in the Newry Mourne and Down area are offering a range of Give It a Go events, including:
RNIB – Hear More About Libraries NI – Newry City Library – Tuesday 18 February | 10:30am–12 noon
An information session exploring accessible library services.
Give it a Go: Mindful Movement – Newcastle Library – Thursday 20 February | 11:00am–12 noon
A gentle mindful movement session.
Creative Writing for Wellbeing – Downpatrick Library – Wednesday 26 February | 2:00pm–3:30pm
A supportive creative writing workshop.
These are just a small selection of the free Give It a Go events taking place in libraries across the area throughout February.
Dr Jim O’Hagan, Libraries NI Chief Executive said: “Libraries are vibrant hubs of activity and learning, situated in the heart of local communities. Following the success of last year’s Give It a Go, we’re delighted to bring the initiative back, with a wide range of free events planned in libraries across Northern Ireland.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for both regular visitors and those who haven’t been in a library for some time to rediscover everything libraries have to offer.
“Bring a friend or family member and encourage each other to Give It a Go.”
All events are free to attend, though booking is recommended for some sessions. Full details of participating libraries and the Give It a Go programme are available via: librariesni.org.uk.
You don’t need to be a library member to take part, but joining is quick, free and opens access to books, computers, free Wi‑Fi and a wide range of online resources.
