On Culture Night 2022 we gifted 4,500 books by Irish and Irish based authors to passengers travelling on Irish Rail Intercity and Bus Éireann Expressway services to mark our 70^th anniversary year. It was the ticket to the furthest reaches of your imagination on Culture Night.  

Book Conductors with library trolleys at train and bus stations in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Sligo and Waterford gifted passengers a book from a wide selection of Irish and Irish-based authors (see list and reading guide below). Passengers were encouraged to share the joy of reading by regifting it to another once they had read it. Audiobooks were also available.

What passengers said:

“This is fantastic, what a lovely idea!”

“These books are adorable, my students will be fighting over these”

“What an amazing initiative”

“I absolutely love this idea, my friends will be so annoyed they missed this”

“We have an initiative something like this in the Netherlands but it’s nowhere near as wholesome as this”

“I have never enjoyed an hour in the train station as much as today, thank you”
