Great Big Mountains to Sea Book Swap Dun Laoghaire

Love Books- Love telling people about your favourite books?
Love Free stuff-  Love doing something for a good cause?
Love meeting new people and sharing common interests?
Not going to Electric Picnic and looking for a way to distract yourself on Saturday?

If you answered yes to any of the above,
Then come along to the Great big mountains to sea book swap and join Paul Howard,
Marita Conlon McKenna, Declan Hughes and Martina Devlin as they discuss their
desert island books in the pavillion theatre.  After the talk everyone gets in on
the fun, bring along your favourite book, with a note attached telling the new reader why
they have to read the book, accost a stranger, recommend your book to them and swap.
Meeting new people, chatting about books, getting a new read- what could be better?
and you never know who you might meet.....

Fun kicks off at 11am in the Pavillion Concourse, Dun laoghaire.
Event is free, donations may be given to National Adult Literacy Association (NALA)

Rathmines Library

Dublin's Library Diva took a visit to the newly renovated Rathmines Library today.
The rather grand carnegie building boasts a music and audition centre, a study and reference
floor, public computers, self-service machines and wheelchair access.  The spacious library has comfortable reading areas and a good selection of books, dvds and cd's.
  This re-opening comes hot on the heels of the re-opening of stillorgan library, proving that the maintenance and up-keepof public libraries is still a priority in recession library.  New to public libraries?  Drop in and check out the books, dvd's, cd's and computer games which are available for renting free of charge.  To find out what your local library has to offer, check out the following links:
