Skills for Life is a national programme available through every public library in Ireland. It offers free workshops, events, and resources to help adults build everyday skills, from going online and managing money to staying healthy and living more sustainably.
It offers people access to practical learning opportunities to support everyday life. Whether you want to feel more confident online, manage your finances, understand media, or live more sustainably - your local library is here to help.
Activities are free, inclusive, and practical - open to all adults in the community.
Events may require advance booking, so please check with the relevant library branch beforehand. Contact details for all our library branches can be found in our Library Directory.
