Our new Chair of Trustees quick to demonstrate his support for our #BackToLife endeavours!
Brian J Cavanagh brings a formidable reputation as a leader, coach, mentor and non-profit Board Chair.
He has written ‘Governing with Purpose’ on the topic and has a forthcoming title ‘The Art of Chairing’.

Beautiful modern extension with superb library in Andrew Carnegie’s Peace Palace in The Hague!

Carnegie’s timing was unfortunate in his efforts to prevent WWl - but the spectacular building remains a powerful legacy now occupied by @icjp.bsky.social

We’re jealous of #DonegalRoadCarnegie and its fabulous vitreous glass mosaic tiled floor!
Ours has been removed / destroyed / stolen sadly

Tiniest in our series #18 of #IrishCarnegies - in Garriston near Dublin 66 in Ireland.

A priest asked Carnegie’s permission to place the library on church land. Declined.
it was built there by 1906, same land, same stone even - looks like a church outbuilding. But it’s still a free public library!

Look - it’s right next to the chapel!
And bears a similar cross - did Carnegie know, I wonder?

Loving this art cube in The Hague - where could we locate one?

For whom? With what? By when? How?

Our beautiful sandstone Belfast Coat of Arms ‘Pro Tanto Quid Retribuamus’ over our front door, and the colourful City Hall carpet version!

Who knows the heraldic features?
