Kildare Readers Festival is brought to you every year in October by Kildare County Library and Arts Service. Our ethos is to connect our readers with authors and artists, working to bring the very best from the world of literature to our audiences through the provision of exciting, innovative and accessible events. Since its inception in 2010, our festival audiences have continued to grow and we look forward to presenting you with the very best from the world of literature and the arts.

2021 saw the publication of the debut novels of two Kildare-based authors, Snowflake by Louise Nealon and Boys Don’t Cry by Fíona Scarlett, too much critical acclaim. They will be interviewed by writer, critic and academic Eoghan Smith.
