Irish Arts Center Book Day 2021
Description
For nearly a decade, Irish Arts Center has celebrated St. Patrick's Day by distributing free books across NYC in an effort to showcase the best of what Irish culture has to offer—our literary heritage. This year, we honor the tradition with a virtual taking to the streets: 15 civic leaders and community members, representing the 15 diverse neighborhoods from which we normally set up Book Day operations, will read work by authors from the Irish diaspora and beyond. These pieces, recorded on location, will be presented in an online incarnation of an annual citywide event that, as ever, underscores the power of our stories to keep us connected.
Readings every half hour, starting at 8am. Lineup to be announced soon.
