LGBT History Month @ Tallaght Library
For the second year running Tallaght Library is hosting a series of events for LGBT History Month, and this year their schedule is bigger and better than ever!
11th February 2010: Literary Evening (7-9pm at Tallaght Library)
Join Jamie O’Neill (author of the best-selling At Swim, Two Boys), Denis Kehoe (author of Nights Beneath the Nation) and Jarlath Gregory (author of G.A.A.Y., Snapshots) for what promises to be a lively discussion of the topic of writing gay fiction. The evening will also feature readings from the author’s books.
18th February 2010: Irish Gay History (7-9pm at Tallaght Library)
As LGBT History Month shows us, there’s more to gay history than just the last few years. Join Brian Lacey, author of Terrible Queer Creatures: A History of Homosexuality in Ireland and very special guest, Senator David Norris, as they discuss times gone by and how they’ve brought us to where we are now.
25th February 2010: Movie Night @ Tallaght Library (7-9pm)
Especially for LGBT History Month, the monthly Movie Night is screening the award-winning Milk, directed by Gus Van Sant and starring Sean Penn, as they legendary Gay Rights Activist, Harvey Milk. Like all other events at the County Library, the event is free.
This year, we have a wide range of events that we hope will be of interest to all of our borrowers. Booking is essential for all events as places are limited. To book, please contact the County Library on: 01 4620073.
