Ireland Reads is a national campaign to get the whole country reading during the month of February in the lead up to a national day of reading on Saturday, February 28th.
The campaign aims to celebrate reading and all the benefits it can have for wellbeing and enjoyment. It is asking everyone to ‘Get lost in a good book’ during February and especially on February 28th, Ireland Reads Day.
See www.irelandreads.ie for more details.
