Don't miss these two fantastic exhibitions on this month in Thurles

Two touring bilingual exhibitions, Ireland and the Birth of Europe and Europe 50, forming part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Ireland's accession to the EU are presently being hosted by Thurles Library in The Source Gallery.

Ireland and the Birth of Europe tells the story of the part played by Irish scholars and missionaries in the early history of the European idea, whilst Europe 50 covers the half-century since Ireland joined the European Economic Community, the forerunner of the European Union.

Drop in and see the story of Irish participation in the development of European identities.

The exhibitions are open during regular library hours for the month of August.
