Not content with hosting a great Public Libraries’ conference last week, last night Galway County Council won the Chambers Ireland Best Library Service Award 2011 for its Summer Reading Programme Nurturing Literacy & Imagination. This is the second win in a row by Galway Libraries and we congratulate all the Galway staff on their achievement. See the Chambers Ireland site for more information.

The only true equalisers in the world are books; the only treasure-house open to all comers is a library; the only wealth which will not decay is knowledge; the only jewel which you can carry beyond the grave is wisdom.
