FÉILE BEALTAINE I LEABHARLANNA MHAIGH EO | BEALTAINE FESTIVAL IN MAYO LIBRARIES
(english version below)
Féile míosa is ea Féile na Bealtaine a dhéanann ceiliúradh ar an gcruthaíocht i measc daoine breacaosta, agus cuimsíonn sé gach cineál ealaíne – litríocht, téatar, damhsa, scannánaíocht, ceol, péinteáil agus dealbhóireacht ina measc. Is é téama na féile 2011 “sáigh amach an bád, cibé an aimsir”, sliocht as an dán ‘At Eighty’ le Edwin Morgan (aistrithe anseo go Gaeilge). Déanann an dán seo ceiliúradh ar an bhfoghlaim sheasta, ar an sólás suáilceach a thugann sé don saol, agus tacaíonn sé leis an tuairim nach mbíonn tú riamh róshean chun triall a bhaint as rud éigean nua, d’ainneoin na constaicí romhat. Agus an méid seo i gcuimhne acu, tá clár imeachtaí neamhghnách agus mealltach eagraithe ag Leabharlann Chontae Mhaigh Eo, agus tá súil againn go mbeidh tú linn agus ‘bád na Féile Bealtaine á shá amach’ againn.

The Festival of Bealtaine is the month-long celebration of creativity in older age and embraces all art forms including literature, theatre, dance, film, storytelling, music, painting and sculpture. The theme for the 2011 Festival is "push the boat out, whatever the sea" taken from 'At Eighty' by Edwin Morgan which seeks to celebrate the life enhancing joys of constant learning and the idea that you are never too old to try something new now matter what the obstacles. With this in mind Mayo County Library has organised an exciting and unusual schedule of events and we hope you will join us in "pushing the Bealtaine boat out."
