Library to CLARE STUDENTS SHINE be named AT BT YOUNG SCIENTIST after Edna SCARIFF Library is to be named after legendary novelist and Tuamgraney’s finest playwright Edna O’Brien, writes Páraic McMahon. At Wednesday’s meeting of the Killaloe Municipal District Cllr Pat Hayes (FF) made the proposal. He stated, “Edna O’Brien has made an immeasurable impact on Irish literature and culture. It is fitting that we recognise her contributions in a meaningful and lasting way. I propose that Scariff Library be officially named the “Edna O’Brien Library” to celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions of this iconic Irish author to the world of literature.” All elected members in the Killaloe MD rowed in behind Hayes’ motion and paid tribute to the 93 year old. Cllr Hayes told the meeting he would like a sign to be erected at the library with O’Brien’s name on it.
