February 2025

In this month's podcast we celebrate Ireland Reads, our national celebration of reading in Ireland. Throughout February and especially on Ireland Reads Day, February 22nd, we’re calling on people across Ireland to get lost in a good book. It doesn’t matter what you read, where you read or how well you read, as long as you read.

• Events in Westmeath for Ireland Reads
• Caroline talks to Eithne Shortall - search the library for books by Eithne Shortall
• Manus chats to Caroline about the Science Fiction Book Club - next meeting is 13th March in Athlone
• Smith tells us all about his latest read "Boot" by Shane Hegarty - search the library for a copy

What is The Westmeath Libraries podcast?

Join us for a monthly library chat. We'll talk about a variety of library related topics, from books to events, and plans for the future.
