World Book Day Ireland

Celebrating the 16th World Book Day in Ireland and the UK on Thursday the 7th of March 2013.

Over the last 15 years World Book Day has become firmly established as Ireland’s biggest annual event promoting the enjoyment of books and reading.

The main aim is to encourage children to explore the pleasure of books and reading by providing them with an opportunity to have a book of their own. This may sound like a very simple idea, but the unfortunately, many children do not have access to books in their homes.
