Books are my business: Librarian at Bantry Library Denis Murphy

Denis Murphy: 'I have worked over the years in most sections of the Cork County Library and Arts Service, based in our HQ at the County Hall campus.' 
 

Denis Murphy is a librarian at Bantry Library, which will host numerous free events as part of this year’s West Cork Literary Festival, running from July 11-18. 

The library first opened to the public in 1974 and a book on its historical and architectural significance, Bantry Library: Bantry’s Brutalist Bibliotheque, by Dermot Harrington marked the building’s 50th anniversary.
