Portlaoise Library
Saturday 21 September 2024, 11am
The next Local Studies coffee morning will take place on Saturday, 21st September at 11am in the Community Room in Portlaoise Library. The last coffee morning, which took place during the Old Fort Quarter Festival, celebrated the history of Portlaoise and its people, with fascinating talks by John Dunne, Teddy Fennelly, Paul Delany, Sean Whelan and Regina Dunne.
On 17th July Laois Local Studies celebrated its first year in its new home in Portlaoise Library. To encourage and foster this enthusiasm for the history and heritage of Laois, Portlaoise Library regularly hosts Local Studies coffee mornings.
If you have an interest in Laois history, or would like to learn more about the county, then come along and meet like-minded adults of all ages to listen and share local stories of the past, ancient and recent. Whether you are descended from the Seven Septs of Laois or recently moved into the area from another county or country come along and chat to other Laois residents in a relaxed and informal setting.
