Each month we select a ‘Book of the Month’ be it new literature, classic chapters, fun, irreverent, thought-provoking or educational, and we invite you to read it with us.
For the month of May, we've selected Handiwork by Sara Baume.
Tell us about your most beloved books, what you’re reading right now, your favourite book from your childhood, the writing that makes you laugh out loud, gives you that ‘smile in the mind’, the pages that tug on those heartstrings, enlightening the senses, pondering the world’s mysteries and wondering... what will we read next.
Each month we sit down for a chat with a ‘Featured Reader’, to find out their favourite books of all time, their literary preferences, recommendations, revered authors, and the likes.
This month, we caught up with Chair of the judging committee of the DUBLIN Literary Award, Chris Morash, to find out about his reading life.
Treasured tomes and cherished chapters, our aim is to connect and inspire people and places through the love of books.
We’re constantly adding to our ‘booklist’, the catalogue of recommended reads from the heart of Dublin, be it recipe books, graphic novels, children's bedtime stories, fact or fiction, and everything in between, there’s plenty for all to explore...
In the famous words of J.K. Rowling, ‘when in doubt go to the library’. Find out more about your local library, and all the amazing things our libraries and librarians do in communities across Dublin all year round.
