Dublin City FM's All About Books went on the road! Recorded in Ballymun & Rathmines Libraries, Katy Conneely hosted a series of panel discussions investigating and dissecting the themes of this 2023's Dublin UNESCO City of Literature.
New routes to reading: BookTok and Bookstagram

Social media has changed how we engage with books - go into any bookshop today and you’ll see a dedicated BookTok section. It also has more and more people reading and engaging with literature. The panellists will discuss how this has played out in the industry. You'll hear from Bronwyn O'Neill, Booktoker & Digital Editor of VIP Magazine, Niamh Donnelly, writer, critic & journalist and Mick Finucane, co-owner Chapters Bookstore.
