Each St. Patrick’s Day, thanks to a community of supporters, sponsors, staff and volunteers, the Irish Arts Center gives away thousands of free books by Irish and Irish American authors and those of other cultures. This year, alongside titles by writers of Irish heritage, find tales by Asian and Asian American authors.  You can get a free book on March 15 at one of a dozen Book Day pop-up stations across all five boroughs, starting from 8am till they run out!   Check in at their website for locations.
