Literary Festival Initiatives

Public libraries host literary festivals, poetry readings, creative writing classes, and panel discussions with authors to promote reading and writing.

The Leaves Festival of Writing and Music is delivered in November by Laois Libraries along with the Laois Arts Office and the Dunamaise Arts Centre. The festival celebrates writing and music in the beautiful setting of various locations across Laois. Leaves allows the community to enjoy contemporary writers, the art of conversation, musicians, film and theatre.
