‘Day 93 – Reading, For Once’
courtesy of ‘gotplaid?’
If you happen to be around one of a handful of popular metro spots in town tomorrow beginning at 7 a.m., you may see some of the lovely individuals of Solas Nua, the only organization dedicated to contemporary Irish arts, handing out books. For free! For the 4th year running, Solas Nua will pass out contemporary Irish tomes to passers-by in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
It’s sort of a first-come first-serve, in that, when the books run out, that’s all folks. So keep an eye out if you happen to be around Metro Center, Tenleytown, the U St. Corridor, Dupont (north exit), Chinatown (7th street) or Archives/Navy Memorial. Volunteers will be taking a wee break (see what I did there?) around 10 a.m., if you don’t see anyone out around that time.
Books and St. Paddy’s day – what could be better?? Well… maybe some Irish whisky…
