Millstreet Library

Tap on the very colourful pictorial display to enlarge.

Millstreet Library is buzzing with excitement this summer.

We are thrilled to bring together two of our favourite things: the joy of reading and the thrill of hurling.  Our new display celebrates both the Summer Stars Adventure for children and the Cork senior hurling team’s journey to the All-Ireland final.

This summer, young readers can dive into a world of adventure with our amazing collection of books.  Whether they are exploring far-off lands, solving mysteries, or meeting fascinating characters, there’s a book for every curious mind. The Summer Stars Adventure encourages children to discover the magic of reading, earn rewards, and develop a lifelong love for books.

At the same time, we are rallying behind our Cork senior hurling team as they prepare for the All-Ireland final.  The display features a fantastic mix of books and hurling memorabilia, celebrating the dedication, teamwork, and passion that both reading and sports inspire.

Visit Millstreet Library to check out the wonderful display & immerse yourself in the excitement.

Let’s make this a summer to remember with unforgettable stories and thrilling sportsmanship! Rebels Abú.

Video: Kerry Football Animals

Seeing as we here in the Millstreet Parish border the Kingdom, we are hearing that some of our farmers are having the same troubles as their compatriots further south on the Cork – Kerry border:

West Cork farmers are doing their best to look after disillusioned Kerry supporters as many of them turn up in their fields.

All in the spirit of the upcoming All-Ireland Final (Sunday 20th September 2009) between Cork and Kerry. The video is of course a reference to Paidí O’Shea’s infamous comment about the Kerry supporters being “animals”

Come on the REBELS!
There are some video clips from the Cork v Kerry games earlier in the year below:
