Last night marked the third instalment of Wexford Reads Festival with the visit of bestselling Wexford author Carmel Harrington to Enniscorthy Library. 📚✨
Carmel captivated the room with discussions about her latest novel “The Nowhere Girls,” her creative writing process and her life as an author. Huge thank you to Carmel for coming in to visit us here at Enniscorthy Library!
We’d also like to say a huge thank you to our colleague Jan Doran from Gorey Library for a hugely enjoyable interview with Carmel.
Jan will be back interviewing in September at Bunclody Library for the next Wexford Reads Festival event with Shauna Lawless.

There will also be interviews with Paul Howard in Wexford Library and Claire Keegan in Gorey Library later in the year. Keep an eye on our socials for more information.
Finally, thank you to all who attended last night - despite the weather, we had such an engaged crowd with fantastic questions which led to some really great discussions with Carmel!
