Outdoor Library at Wolfe Tone Square!
Published on 13th May 2025
We are bringing the library outdoors to Wolfe Tone Square on Saturday 17 May from 12pm to 5pm! This very special celebration of books and reading is part of the 30th anniversary celebration for the Dublin Literary Award.
There will be live music, a children's story time, and reading recommendations from library staff. Why not play our Spin the Wheel interactive game and bring home a Dublin Literary Award winner from the last thirty years? We will be also be giving away over a thousand FREE books throughout the day!
The Dublin Literary Award is the world’s most valuable annual prize for a single work of fiction. First awarded in 1996, it is administered by Dublin City Libraries and kindly supported by Dublin UNESCO City of Literature.
You can read this year's shortlist here. The winner will be announced at the International Festival of Literature, Merrion Square, on 22 May.
