We are delighted once again to participate in Dublin: One City One Book

Dublin: One City, One Book is an award-winning Dublin City Council initiative, led by Dublin City Libraries, which encourages everyone to read a book connected with the capital city during the month of April every year. This year’s book choice is Fallen by Lia Mills which tells the story of Dubliners against the backdrop of the events of Easter week 1916. This year readers in Belfast will engage with the book at the same time for a Two Cities One Book Festival.

The full programme for this year’s festival is available at: http://www.dublinonecityonebook.ie/
