Thursday, 3rd September in Ballymun Civic Centre 9.30am 1.30pm
Book Exchange is back this month with an interesting range of books on offer. The idea behind Book Exchange is to bring a book and exchange it for another for FREE! Huge numbers come out on the first Thursday of every month to choose from the extensive collection of Adult and Childrens books on offer. We are providing free books to help promote more reading in the community. In August one local resident said, This is a great thing. I am delighted because I go through so many books. This way, I have great choice of books all the time. Enjoy a browse of the books on offer, chat to someone else also on the look-out for a good book and become part of something great. Book Exchange returns to Ballymun Civic Centre on Thursday, September 3rd. For those who cant wait until then, call into the Partnership Offices in Ballymun Shopping Centre where we have set up a mini Book Exchange carrying a sample collection of books for you to swap and read.
For more information contact the Education Section of Ballymun Whitehall Area Partnership on 01 582 39522 or email elizabeth@ballymun.org.

Over two weeks in the month of October, the Ballymun Partnership ran its annual Introduction to the Community of Ballymun Programme for teachers new to the Ballymun area. The programme included a brief presentation on Ballymun, a walking tour of the area, and a visit to local community organisations. This programme has been a great way for teachers new to Ballymun to not only learn the geography of the area, but to understand issues facing people from Ballymun and find out what local services are available to help their students and to support them as teachers.

The Ballymun Education Fair, which took place on the 11th September in the Ballymun Civic Centre, was a great day out. Over 300 people from Ballymun and the surrounding areas came to the Fair to have a look at the displays and to talk to the 35 different organisations there on the day. These education and training organisations handed out information about education and training opportunities provided by them, they offered advice to people thinking about getting onto a course or back into training. There were also taster workshops as part of the event and these were a big hit with the public who had the opportunity to try out Song writing, Art and Beauty.
