## Resource

Cork County Council’s Library and Arts Service turns 100, and they’re celebrating with a free, beautifully crafted booklet that traces their journey from humble beginnings in the 1920s to today’s vibrant, county-wide network. Packed with stories of resilience through war, floods, and the pandemic, it highlights the unsung heroes — staff, readers, and even the legendary Frank O’Connor — who made it all possible. From Carnegie-funded roots to modern mobile libraries serving rural communities, this milestone isn’t just about history — it’s a tribute to the enduring power of libraries to connect, educate, and inspire.
