One Dublin One Book is an annual Dublin City Council festival, led by Dublin City Libraries and Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, and supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport. Each April, Dublin City Council encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to read and share a specially chosen book connected with the city. This year's selection is Christine Falls by John Banville.

Through an extensive programme of free public events, discussions, workshops and performances, the initiative brings communities together in libraries, cultural venues and public spaces across Dublin.
