Ireland Reads is a national campaign to get the whole country reading this month in the lead up to a national day of reading on Saturday, February 24th.
Waterford Libraries have teamed up with libraries nationwide, publishers, booksellers, authors and others for the campaign, which aims to celebrate reading and all the benefits it can have for wellbeing and enjoyment.
The campaign is asking everyone to Get Lost in a Book on Ireland Reads Day, Saturday, February 24th. See www.irelandreads.ie for more details.
