A fantastic event was held in Portlaoise Library to celebrate four primary schools from Laois who created their very own collaborative story which is to be published in a book.

Author Alan Nolan, Laois County Council Cathaoirleach Barry Walsh, the Laois Library Service team and pupils from the participating schools all gathered at Portlaoise Library for the launch of ‘Story Seeds: The Great Laois Mash-up’. 

‘Story Seeds: The Great Laois Mash-up’ is a creative writing project that was run through the Fighting Words team within Laois Library Service.

Photographer Alf Harvey went along to the event and captured all the fun on camera.
