Waterford Libraries is delighted to bring a series of free Writing Workshops to the people of Waterford for the third year. The programme runs from August to mid-November and gives participants an opportunity to attend courses in both Irish and English with experienced, well-established writers in their fields. The workshops are either four week or one day and take place online or in Waterford Library branches during the evenings or on Saturdays. Courses are free of charge and open to people over 18 years resident in the City or County of Waterford.
