Ballymun Library- some upcoming events
Our Evening Reading Group is reading The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell for this month’s meet-up on Monday 27 January at 6.30pm. The book focusses on an art history related storyline so we have invited a guest speaker to join us on the evening to talk a little bit about the art history context of the book. Bernadette O’Farrell studied art history and has a particular interest in Renaissance art.
If you would like to join the Evening Reading Group, please email a request to us at ballymunlibrary@dublincity.ie and we will see if it’s possible to accommodate extra numbers.
