Novelist Caroline Barry ran a series of creative writing workshops for teenagers in Birr Library 

This project was a joint initiative of Offaly County Library and Offaly County Council Art’s Office.

The participants were invited to Birr Library to read their work publicly in an Open Mike session for their family and friends and members of the public. This event was recorded and have been made available online.

Links to the videos are shown below. The open mic session is broken down into 5 parts but to view highlights, please select the first video on the list.
