Lúcháir Leabhar – which literally translates to ‘the delight of books’ – is an annual celebration where people gift books to their friends and family. It takes place during Lá Domhanda na Leabhar – World Book Day.

Mayor Duffy joined children from three local Irish medium primary schools, Gaelscoil Éadain Mhóir, Gaelscoil na Dairóige and Bunscoil Cholmcille, who were read to by storyteller Brídanna Ní Bhaoill.
