One Dublin One Book 2025: Dublin, written in our hearts
11 March 2025
One Dublin One Book aims to encourage everyone in Dublin to read a book connected with the capital city during the month of April every year. This annual project is a Dublin City Council initiative, led by Dublin City Libraries and Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, which encourages reading for pleasure.
Dublin Climate Action Week will take place from the 12–18 of May 2025 and is organised by the four Dublin Local Authorities, the Dublin Climate Action Regional Office (CARO) and Dublin’s Energy Agency, Codema.
From 1-17 March, we’re hosting a fantastic line-up of free events, including Irish language exchanges, storytelling sessions, music performances, film screenings, and fun activities for all ages.
Family events and activities take place in all libraries during the month of December to support the involvement of the whole family in children’s reading.
The section’s main aim is to go out into the community and let people know about all the amazing things available in their library, both in branch and online.
