Special Tea Party Success!

We had an absolutely wonderful day across our libraries on 6th May as we opened our doors for a countywide Tea Party. Johnston Central Library, Virginia Library, Arva Library, Bailieborough Library, Belturbet Library and Cootehill Library were buzzing with chat, laughter, song, music, craft as we celebrated Bealtaine Festival in style! A BIG thank you to the groups who joined us to make it a very special day including the Cavan Singers, Friends of Parkinsons Music Group, Holistic Harmonies Community Choir and Bailieborough Creative Hub. It was truly uplifting to see everyone enjoying a cuppa, making connections and enjoying the entertainment. Thank you to all the members and visitors who joined us - we were delighted to see you!
