James Joyce’s Dubliners is Dublin City Council’s ‘One City, One Book’ choice for April 2012 . The chosen title will be supported by a wide range of public events and celebrations in Dublin in April – http://www.dublinonecityonebook.ie/2012-choice.

Not to be outdone, WIT Libraries has set up a display of a selection of books by and about Joyce for our readers here at WIT.  Everyone is encouraged to read Dubliners throughout the month of April. You can borrow a print copy from the library, or better still, download  it as an e-book free from the web. Enjoy!

N’fheadar a raibh fhios agaibh go bhfuil Seachtain na Gaeilge ar súil go dti 17ú Márta agus go bhfuil raon leabhar Gaeilge le fáil sa leabharlann ar iasacht? Tá sampla den cnuasach seo le feiscint sa taispeántas i leabharlann Luke Wadding faoí láthair. Den cinnte súil a chaitheamh air agus tú sa leabharlann!

I wonder do you know that Seachtain na Gaeilge is running until March 17^th and that we have a selection of Irish language books available to borrow in the library? There is a sample of the collection on display in the Luke Wadding Library at the moment. Be sure to have a look when you’re passing!

WIT continues to donate books to educational projects in the Third World. Our latest shipment of over 800 books, all kindly donated by WIT staff, has been sent to the the Read International group in the UK http://www.readinternational.org.uk/ .

The books will  be transferred from here to various parts of East Africa to be used for educational purposes.The project is co-ordinated by the Chaplaincy Office in conjunction with WIT Libraries and WIT’s Third World Group.
