What we’re about
Dubliners: Joys of Reading 📚✨
Welcome to Dubliners, a cozy haven for those who find solace in stories. Here, we come together not just to read, but to immerse ourselves in the narratives that shape our lives. Each book becomes a doorway, and our vibrant discussions transform into journeys through the realms of fiction and non-fiction, blending imagination with our shared experiences.
As the day unfolds, we venture into Dublin’s literary heartbeat, attending book launches, engaging plays, poetry slams and irrestible conversations. A great time!
Join us at Dubliners, where each story enriches our bond and invites you into a community that celebrates the joy of reading together! 📚

- 📚 Silent Reading & Socialising 🍺St Stephen's Green, Dublin
The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-)
📝 How does this work?
For the first part of the event, we'll gather in St. Stephen's Green Park at 5:00 PM near the James Joyce Statue facing MoLI, then find a spot to sit and read in silence for an hour. The map location points to the correct location. Try to be at least 5 minutes early to locate the statue. You can bring a Kindle, physical book, phone, or laptop to read. During this hour, each person will read their own material without conversation.
👥 Socialising
After an hour, at 6:00 PM, we'll gather and walk to Bartley's where you can discuss and socialise about the book you're reading in the park or something you've read earlier.We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
Feel free to join at any point during the event.
The Dublin weather is full of surprises and spontaneity. We've all had enough experiences with that by now!
