Scariff
Public
Library

Clare County Library invites young adults to participate in a specially designated
programme of events at Scariff Public Library from the 19th to the 22nd March inclusive.
THINKING OF CAREERS (THE WORK SMART PROJECT)
Greg McGeogh, Blackwater Projects
This 90 minute workshop is tailored to help Senior Cycle Students make educated career choices. Discussion
covers CV building, interview preparation, personal and aptitudinal assessment, target-setting and advice
on relevant work experience.
Look no further for advice on how to have a pleasant, manageable and worthwhile 3rd Level experience.
SCARIFF LIBRARY’S TEENAGE BOOK CLUB
Scariff Library’s Teenage Book Club takes place on Tuesday 19th March at 6pm. Come along and talk about
your favourite books, play games and meet new people.
MAKING AND PRODUCING MUSIC
Ciaran Collins
Ciaran’s two-hour workshop will give an overview of Music Creation and Production. You are guaranteed
to find out anything you need to know, from tips on songwriting to making your pitch with recording
companies. Participants at the workshop will have access to acoustic, electric and bass guitars, a drum
machine and digitech console and much more, with the ultimate aim being to create their own track by the end
of the session.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITIONAL BUILDINGS
Risteard Ua Cróinín
Architectural conservation officer with Clare County Council, Risteard Ua Cróinín is responsible for the built
environment of the county. He is acutely aware that in post Celtic Tiger Ireland, more and more people
are taking an interest in what really matters; families, local history, ancient buildings and the Gaelic
language. He is once again editor of The Other Clare, our county’s archaeological journal. Risteard will
discuss all of this and more with plenty of scope for questions and answers in his talks with teenagers.
STEPHEN MURRAY’S POETRY SLAM
Stephen Murray
Stephen Murray was born in Ireland in 1974 and moved to London in 1975. As a teenager, he was twice a
runner-up in the W.H. Smith Young Writer of the Year Awards. In 2005 he was crowned Cúirt Grand Slam
Champion. He has performed his work as guest reader at many of the world’s most famous poetry venues. He
currently lives and writes in Galway where he works as director of Inspireland, teaching poetry and creative
writing to young people across the country. House of Bees is his debut collection.
