Ireland Reads Website
Not sure what to read? No problem!
The Ireland Reads website offers book recommendations suited to a person’s interests and the time they have available. There are more than 800 recommendations from librarians all around the country, including Meath.
You can simply enter their favourite type of book and how long they would like to read each day and the website will offer a suitable book suggestion and work out how long it will take to complete – a couch to 5k for books! Check it out!
Ireland Reads was a campaign run in February 2021 which culminated in a national day of reading on Thursday, February 25th. The campaign asked people to ‘squeeze in a read’ on Ireland Reads Day and a new website www.irelandreads.ie was set up as a place where people could make a pledge to read and also get recommendations on what to read.
