South Dublin County Council
Silverbark Creative produces work for a number of sections within South Dublin County Council. These divisions would include Libraries, Arts and Environment. The type of work produced would range from leaflets to displays and promotional goods to web graphics. We have also been involved in the Development strategies for both the Arts Section and Libraries Section. In 2012 we developed the identity for the new Red Line Book Festival which has grown out of the Readers Day Festival.
We have also produced a number of books for South Dublin Libraries

Rebellion and Revolution in Dublin: Voices from a Suburb, Rathfarnham, 1913-23
This collection of essays explores connections between the Irish revolution and the people and places of the Dublin suburb of Rathfarnham. The book began as a project to mark the centenary of the Whitechurch Library, which opened on Taylor’s Lane on St. Patrick’s Day, 1911. The ensuing years of war, rebellion and revolution saw the active involvement of many residents of the Rathfarnham area and individuals linked to the library.
Contributors to the book included: Damien Burke, Gareth Coghlan, Brian Crowley, Clara Cullen, Mary E. Daly, Marnie Hay, Daire Keogh, Michael Laffan, Felix M. Larkin, Martin Mansergh, Michael McDowell, Conor McNamara, Éimear O’Connor and Robert Schmuhl.
