Poetry and diseases at Brigid 1500 Memory Monday

It was wonderful to see a full house for our February Memory Monday, writes Mary Orford. Thanks to Kildare Library Service and our local community librarian, Julie O'Donoghue, for hosting our monthly get together. The tea and biscuits were most welcome after our walk down memory lane. 

As Brigid is patroness of poets and healing, we had poetry and diseases as topics of conversation. What a combination! Cures from the School Folklore Collection entertained us (and appalled us) and I suspect we're all very grateful for advances in modern medicine. Thanks to those who read poems for adding a touch of class to the morning. 

We'll do it all again on Monday 27th March at 11am in Kilcullen Community Library. Please join us.
