@TWkUSA Absolutely and one of the many benefits for using vacant buildings

2/2 @TWkUSA If not there are still possibilities such as projection space, urban park, canvas for street art Here's an Irish eg @arttunnel

1/2 @TWkUSA Have used a whole range of buildings; office, supermarket, travel agent but they do have to be in good state.

@Bryanooo Well their arts office was looking at doing something but it never quite happened so you might be on the same page, worth a try

@wakazmi Not sure if it's typically Irish but it was green! Had crackers with cheese & avocado

@amichetti @ndbekah As a lover of lists, I think it's great!

To help me be more organised & efficient I use @trello Check it out here trello.com It's not just for January now!

@davemolloy Good man! That's the way to beat the cold. Have a great day!

@davemolloy Word of advice, its all about the layers Dave ; )

@FreeFromGuru Like it, thanks Aedín

@_emilylisa Really! No love for January then ; )

@sharononeill Good thanks Sharon. Have a good day

For me January is a time for organisation - setting goals, writing lists & making plans. So tell me what do you do in January?

Good morning everyone. Hope all is well where you are

@MAFajMos Hi Manuel, how are you?

@ScotVoices Night night Simon

After over a whole lot of Tweeting today I am going to call it a day. Goodnight everyone.

@gerrydoofer Well done Gerry & great story

Aside from curating @ireland today & for this week I managed to find time to take my photo of the day, here it is ... twitpic.com/bx6o1z

When is a business card not a business card? ... bit.ly/WRDC6R When it's a miniature artwork by @TEKSTartist

@PeopleofNZ How sad! Had friends that lived in Sumner. They moved a while ago, but apparently it was hit pretty bad.

@PeopleofNZ Used to live in NZ. Where is the shopping centre?

Why build when you can repurpose? Love this exhibition reusing shipping containers bit.ly/13XOjuS

@stunt_penguin Handy trick!

@katia75014 Mastering chopsticks is not easy for those us reared on knives and forks :)

Some rather soothing music filtering through from the neighbours. So have you gained something from your neighbours? Please share your story

@IrishBinka @Netherlanders Really, that's interesting

@Netherlanders @IrishBinka These figures are huge increase on previous years. Dare I say it but a silver lining on the economic crisis cloud

Thawing out now & back from my meet-up with the talented @sannafp

@Kitsgirl1 @clarderoiste Thanks anyway Anne Marie.

@JokeVeldhuizen @IrishBinka @Netherlanders Apparently in 2011 Irish volunteers clocked up 425,000 hours of unpaid work. Impressive!

@rraughter Thanks for the info Rosemary

@clarderoiste @Kitsgirl1 Amazing photo, thanks Anne Marie

@rickoshea Brilliant Rick & good to hear it. Saves money & space!

I am away out for a wee while so catch you all later meanwhile here's a fun distraction for a Monday afternoon bit.ly/PAv1Ur Enjoy!

@travors There if you need them Dan

@travors Ok then, what about for other services? Courses, exhibitions, events etc ...

@OllieVan Oh dear sorry to hear that. Glad you have a friendlier library not so far away

@gerrydoofer Lovely story, thanks for sharing Gerry

@mikeneglia Good for the wee one but sadly not for you. Where do you get your books then?

@MkcEU Thanks Maeve

Aucklands’s Stairway cinema - this is fantastic use of such limited space by @OHNOSUMO bit.ly/XvUxMf

I am off for my lunch now. Back soon ...

Check out blog on dublincitypubliclibraries.com where some of their vast collection is promoted. Excellent & thanks to @wyvernfriend for sharing

@wyvernfriend No I hadn't so thanks for sharing

@wyvernfriend a great service, I use it myself

@Claredaisy Thanks Claire, oooh! it's really beautiful

@SabrinaSpiher Thanks Sabrina, you're always welcome in Ireland : )

@noflashingneon Great to hear Natalie, happy reading

@SDCClibraries Thanks guys

@SmudgeYarns That's a shame. I wonder can local libraries access any scholarly journals etc. on your behalf?

@BrianMcGee1 Absolutely depends on the library & location & admit my experience is primarily of city libraries

2/2 @dubcilib standard reading list of great/famous authors and their books & more emphasis on Irish writers - esp contemporary.

1/2 @dubcilib Great suggestions for libraries here from @robertbabington - I Discussion areas, regular meetings/events, and perhaps a cafe..

@BrianMcGee1 I guess it depends on the library but I've seen a few in @dubcilib and outside Ireland e.g. London

@robertbabington Brilliant Robert, great ideas. Shall we pass them on?

@wyvernfriend Great stuff. @dubcilib provides excellent services & they're largely free!

@TRIDXB Interesting Caitriona & thank you

@finneranjames Yes James, one of the many services

@BrianMcGee1 Free internet or wifi, courses, exhibitions, events. Am I tempting you? :)

@robertbabington Thanks Robert. I like this revolution idea! ... pondering

@K_Goonan ;)

@TRIDXB Thanks Caitriona, are there not so many libraries there at all?

@BrianMcGee1 Fair enough but maybe useful for something other than books ...

@Stephen_Long Good luck Stephen, have my fingers crossed for you.

@BrianMcGee1 Never?

@mrcbehan Ballyroan residents are in for a real treat!

@rraughter wowie! thanks for sharing Rosemary.

@onetruecathal A different kind of library indeed!

@theeAdversary Good point, thanks Daithi

@UCC @Eoin_Hayes Good luck Eoin

@Cahirpark I suppose like a lot of things & libraries need to evolve but I think it would be a real shame if they had to close

@Euromerican66 Maybe but libraries can offer so much more; courses, exhibitions, events etc. & I love the feel of a real book

@Smartheat Very true Pat, it's not just about the books these days; courses, internet, exhibitions, events etc.

@Smithy_kath I agree, always seem to busy where I go; studying students, children & silver surfers

@sarahrodeo Hurray Sarah, great to hear.

@Cahirpark Do you think? I must go to the very busy ones & have to say there's no replacement for the feel & smell of a real book

Continuing on the theme of libraries. I believe libraries are a great resource but do you regularly use your local library?

@SDCClibraries @mrcbehan Thanks, that would be great

@mrcbehan Thanks Ciaran

@mrcbehan suggested the new & under construction Ballyroan library & I managed to find a pic. Impressive! pic.twitter.com/2fRMaRly

Thanks you all for the beautiful library suggestions; Gorey, Linenhall, Ballyroan @MarshsLibrary to name but a few ...

@rraughter Good call Rosemary. Thanks @MarshsLibrary @TheJohnRylands

@steveodelta Thanks Stephen

@workrestplayni Thanks guys, that's an impressive library

@mrcbehan @SDCClibraries Thanks a mill Ciaran, would love to see a photo so will try and track one down ...

@mrcbehan Really, wow! Sounds futuristic. Do you have any pic by any chance?

Here's 25 of the most beautiful public libraries in the world do you think any Irish libraries are worthy of this title?bit.ly/V18LFo

@Calebmkyle Morning Caleb, long time no speak. Hope you're well. L

@mrcbehan Good to hear. I think we will look after each other
