AboutFaoi

Kildare Readers’ Festival, running since 2010, is an annual celebration of writers and the art of writing which showcases and supports both established and emerging authors across all genres with entertaining, exciting, and accessible events.

Kildare Readers’ Festival in association with the Irish Writers’ Centre takes place every October with most events taking place in the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge along with some of our Kildare libraries. The programmes include authors in conversation, panel discussions, book launches and writing workshops.

While the Kildare Readers’ Festival programme is aimed at an adult audience, Kildare Library Service also runs Children’s Book Festival throughout October.
