Bookworms to descend on ‘town of books’ for literary festival
A book and treasure trail through the town of Graiguenamanagh in Co Kilkenny will be among the highlights of this year’s Town of Books Festival taking place from September 16 to 18.
Booksellers from around this country, and also Britain, will be offering thousands of special, bargain, rare and specialist books during the festival, which has established itself as one of the premier events of its type in Ireland. Organisers say it’s not all about books with music, talks, walks, demonstrations, craft and food, while full advantage will be taken of the towns idyllic location on the River Barrow.
