“An inclusive version of Irish-America ... With 11 different locations around the city, the only question [is]: where to start?” – Literary Hub
“This is a lovely way to remind everybody that the Irish are known for their literature.” – The Wall Street Journal
This St. Patrick’s Day, pay homage to Ireland and Mexico’s rich literary traditions as our annual Book Day expands to celebrate literature by Irish and Irish American authors alongside writers from Mexico and its diaspora.
With hundreds of titles to choose from, ranging from children’s books to poetry, fiction, nonfiction and books in translation, there is something for every New Yorker on offer at one of our many pop-up stands across all five boroughs.
Irish Arts Center Book Day is inspired by a similar event run by Solas Nua in Washington D.C. since 2006.
Special thanks to all our generous donors who help make our free programming possible:
Sweeney & Harkin, Commodore Construction, Manhattan Mini Storage, Delta Air Lines and Elizabeth’s Table.
