Additionally, there will be a plentiful selection of adult fiction available. There will be out-of-print and relatively rare books available, and this will be a great opportunity to get your hands on a sought after item. No item will be priced over €5, with most books will be priced at €1 or less.

Cathaoirleach of Wicklow County Council, Cllr. Paul O’Brien expressed his interest in relation to sustainability, saying, “This book sale exemplifies the principles of the circular economy, ensuring that books at the end of their shelf life get a new lease of life. It's a wonderful opportunity for these books to be enjoyed and appreciated by new readers."

Chief Executive of Wicklow County Council Emer O’Gorman commented, "We're pleased to provide the public with a chance to give these books another opportunity to be read, I noticed many potential holiday reads in the pile, perfect for summer relaxation."
