Overview
Our wonderful community of volunteers and staff, sponsors and supporters will once again celebrate St. Patrick’s season by helping New Yorkers "get lit"! This year, we celebrate New York writers alongside authors from Ireland and the Irish diaspora. Come find us at one of our pop-up stations across the five boroughs, where we’ll be distributing thousands of free titles of all genres from 8am until the books run out.
- Publishers and authors wishing to donate books, please contact rachael@irishartscenter.org.
