Meath is the Royal county and this episode looks at some of its cultural richness and how the council engages with the community in this area.


Librarian Aoife Carberry talks about the immense reach the library network in Meath in the online and in person worlds. She reveals some of the exciting elements of the new library in East Meath Civic Centre and we hear from one family on their love of books and the importance of their local library.


More exciting plans for the future of culture in Meath are discussed by County Archivist Patricia Fallon. The new county archive will form part of Navan’s Cultural Quarter.


Senior Engineer John McGrath, explains exactly what it will include and how it will transform the town. This ambitious initiative aims to create a dynamic space that, as well as being home to a much larger county archive, will be a vibrant community hub, encouraging cultural engagement and fostering connections among residents through art, history, and collaboration.
