Last November, the children in 5th class read the book 'The Irish Civil War 1922-23 Ava's Diary' for the One Book, One County reading initiative, which is part of the Decade of Centenaries Programme which marks key events in Irish history. As part of the initiative, Monaghan County Library organised a workshop for the children to teach them about the events of the Irish Civil War.  The children thoroughly enjoyed the highly interactive and informative workshop.
