Secretary for the City Chapter, Roddy Hegarty for the Cardinal O’Fiaich Library and Archive.<\/p>\n

As part of its programme of events for this year, the City Chapter registered as a partner for World Book Night. Twenty books were included in this year\u2019s list and the City Chapter chose Sebastian Barry\u2019s book \u2018The Secret Scripture\u2019. Forty copies will be distributed throughout the City of Armagh when City Chapter members leave copies in the local coffee shops for customers to read and pass on.<\/p>\n

As well as the text of Sebastian Barry\u2019s work, each book contains a list of all the World Book Night titles, a sample extract from a book which the author thinks readers might enjoy next, information about World Book Night and a poem chosen by the Josephine Hart Poetry Foundation.<\/p>\n

The Lord Mayor of Armagh City and District, Councillor Sharon Haughey-Grimley welcomed members of the City Chapter before they began the distribution of the books in Armagh.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the City Chapter, which is the partnership of libraries in Armagh, said: \u201cThe City Chapter exists to promote the spoken and written word. The purpose of World Book Night is to spread the joy of reading to those who do not already regularly read. This is, therefore, a most appropriate initiative for us to be involved in. We wish all those who find a copy of \u2018The Secret Scripture\u2019 happy reading\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
