Open up a world of imagination at Drogheda Library

As a regular visitor to the Drogheda library in my early teen years, I loved the library. I loved everything about the place - the staff (Munich & Anne) with whom my sister and I spent many an hour chatting with, the books, the stories, the different lives of characters, the old shelves, the smell of new and old books.

I was transported back to this part of my life when I visited the library recently. This summer the library is hosting a ‘Quest Seekers‘ reading challenge for children which began on Wednesday, 1st July.

Quest Seekers is an imaginative and fun way to encourage children to read and is designed for children of all ages and reading abilities.

The aim of the challenge is to get children to read six books from the local library during the summer holidays….(six is needed to complete the challenge but children can read way more than that!)

All children who successfully complete the challenge will get a certificate and there is a separate area in the library for the Quest Seekers.

I’d encourage anyone who has children to pop along to Stockwell Street and visit the library. It’s free and they have a mountain of books to choose from.

My love for reading and writing was nurtured at the library - it’s a great place for creativity to start.
