Ireland Reads is a is an initiative of the government of Ireland, funded by Healthy Ireland and supported by public libraries and many organisations that promote literacy and the arts. It is supported with a dedicated website www.irelandreads.ie , where people can pledge to read on the day.
Each Kerry library will hold storytime sessions and crafts workshops for small children on the day while Amanda Geard, author of The Midnight House will be in Tralee Library.
