About this event

Irish Arts Center celebrates every St. Patrick’s Day with the most cherished of Irish traditions: sharing their stories. The IAC family of volunteers, staff, sponsors and supporters, along with our partners at the New York City Council, will once again be handing out free books at Book Day pop-up stations in all five boroughs.

Alongside titles by Irish and Irish-American writers, this year's initiative will also feature work exploring the lives of working people, and histories shaped by labor movements, across communities.
