Each year Galway Public Libraries celebrates a literary figure or historical event with its county and citywide Galway\u2019s Great Read. This year we are proud to celebrate, in this her centenary year, one of Galway\u2019s most prolific and extraordinarily versatile writers, Eil\u00eds Dillon. She published some 50 titles between 1948 and 1992, writing for both children and adults.Her themes are wide-ranging, from Island life on the Atlantic coast to her knowledge and love of language and folk tradition.<\/p>\n

Some of the events in our virtual programme include: our online bookclub, which invites one into the descriptive imagination of Dillon\u2019s work; our various seminars which explore her Galway roots and place in Irish history; two new commissions which highlight her love of art and music – a visual art piece to celebrate her life and work and a music composition in response to one of her best known and highly regarded translated works, Caoineadh Airt U\u00ed Laoghaire; and a magical tour for children in our \u2018One Author, 5 Islands\u2019 along the wild Atlantic way.<\/p>\n
