Refugee Week Ireland 2025

Refugee Week Ireland takes place from 16 to 22 June 2025. Refugee Week is a festival where we celebrate compassion and connection, and everyone is welcome.

This year's theme is - Community as a superpower. Libraries play a large part in fostering connections, inclusion and community cohesion across Ireland. Through our Library in the Community outreach team, we provide a broad service to community groups all over the city.

As part of Refugee Week, the UNHCR and Children's Books Ireland have produced a wonderful reading guide for children and young adults aged 0-18.  

Download the reading guide "Reading together with refugees". 

To find some of our favourite reads from the list, check out our staff picks.
