To celebrate Irish Book Week which is taking place from Saturday, 19 October – Saturday, 26 October 2024, Bookselling Ireland, the committee of Booksellers Association members representing bookshops big and small across Ireland, is delighted to team up with Irish Country Living to give readers the chance to win a €100 national book token, with five gift cards up for grabs.
Now in its 7th year, Irish Book Week is a nationwide celebration of Irish bookshops, Irish books, publishers, writers, illustrators, and poets.
The campaign aims to encourage people from across Ireland to visit their local bookshops to discover and enjoy a range of exciting and interesting events, readings, parties, displays and much more. Irish bookshops play a crucial role in championing homegrown talent and putting great Irish books into the hands of readers.
The campaign Ambassadors for 2024 are children’s illustrator and author, Úna Woods, who also created the stunning artwork for this year’s campaign, Laureate na nÓg & children’s author, Patricia Forde and fiction author, Felicity Hayes-McCoy.
National Book Tokens gift cards can be bought and spent in bookshops across Ireland.
