2013 Yeat's Day a great success!

This year Yeat's day was a dawn to dusk celebration not just of Sligo’s Nobel Laureate and his works, but also of his brother Jack, one of the country’s most significant painters of the last century, and his sisters Susan and Elizabeth- who made an enormous contribution to the Gaelic art and crafts revival in the early 20th century. The Library was one of the venues involved with Yeat's Nobel Medal on display throughout the day in the County Museum. Also held in Central Library was 'Choral Yeats - Children in costume recite Yeats poetry' which was a great success and entertained the large crowd in attendance.
