Author Visit: Niamh Donnellan

Reading

As part of Cruinniú na nÓg at Sligo Library, schoolchildren from across Sligo are invited to a special author visit with children’s writer Niamh Donnellan in the Cruinniú marquee.

Designed especially for Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class, these interactive sessions begin with lively storytelling using engaging props — including St Brigid’s cloak and Grace O’Malley’s spyglass — before inviting children to create and draw their own heroes. Children will also get to finish their artwork using special ink stamps.
