Mayo County Library

Pictured in Library at the recent Berlin Wall and Green Belt talk by Dagmar Wennacher - a familiar face to many in the area from her days as former chairwoman of the Höchstadt-Castlebar Friendship Association - were (from left to right) John Condon, Seamus Murphy, Cllr. Michael Kilcoyne, Tony Deffely, Nora Coyne, Hanneke Wyers, Henk Wyers, Michael Feeney, with Gearóidín Groonell and Dagmar Wennacher at the front.

We were delighted recently to launch our One County, One Book initiative - in celebration of our 100th birthday (yes, we know we're looking well!). You can now borrow On The Way Out by Liam Horan from any of our 14 library branches in Mayo - and we'd love to hear if your local book clubs or reading groups are interested in adding it to their discussions.
