Culture Night 2016

Culture Night 2016 was a great success for the Library and No 5!

Photographer Ian Maginess shared some great photographs of the three events held in Armagh Public Library during Culture Night.

We welcomed back the Arts Care Choir who sang in both No 5 and the Library two years ago.  It was good to have them back, directed by Sally Walmsley and accompanied by Anne Greenaway.

The Keeper, Dean Gregory Dunstan, welcomed author Michael Hughes and the John Hewitt Society representative, Paul McAvinchey to the Library.  Through Paul’s encouragement, the Society worked in association with the Library for this event.
