Think Outside the Book!

This week (11th-15th November) is Library Ireland Week and this year's theme is "Think outside the book".

So, along with all the other libraries in the country, we're celebrating the other services we provide in the Library apart from our excellent book stock. As it turns out, there are quite a few!

Come and see our display for yourself and be sure to avail of all the wonderful ways the Library can make your life that little bit easier.

Library Ireland Week

This week is Library Ireland Week and to mark it we're having a competition!  Yipee!!

We have two book vouchers to give away to two lucky winners.  To be in with a chance of winning one all you have to do is send us in a picture which promotes the "literacy: everyday, everyway" theme of Library Ireland Week 2012.

It could be a photo of you reading something somewhere interesting...even if it's the back of a tin of beans, though obviously we'd prefer if it's something more high-brow...

So get a snap, send it in to info.library@spd.dcu.ie and the two best entries will receive a €50 or €25 book voucher!  Closing date for entries is November 30.

If you're short on ideas, we've hung up a few of Library staff (or volunteered friends/family) at the Library to get the ball rolling, along with reviews of some of our favourite books.

Happy Library Week!

Free Movie - Happy Go Lucky

To mark both Library Ireland Week and the end of Teaching Practice, the Library is screening Mike Leigh's acclaimed comedy Happy-Go-Lucky (2008). The film tells the story of Poppy, a primary school teacher, as she negotiates modern life, love and a deeply psychotic driving instructor.


Screening times are:

Wed, March 10 @ 6pm (D115)

Thur, March 18 @ 6pm (D210)

And...there'll be free popcorn!!! (To guarantee your bag, let us know you're coming at info.library@spd.dcu.ie).
