Book Club

Our Book Club is free and open to everyone in Dundalk and County Louth.

We meet once a month, always on the last Thursday, in partnership with An Táin Arts Centre.

How our Book Club works

We choose a book, we read at our own pace, and we meet in person at Roe River Books for calm discussion.

  • One meeting per month.
  • Always on the last Thursday.
  • Hosted in the shop in Dundalk.
  • Listening is always welcome.

You do not need to finish the book to attend.

Who can join

Our Book Club is for all readers. There is no requirement to attend every month and no pressure to speak.

  • Readers building a steady habit.
  • People new to Dundalk looking for community.
  • Regular customers who want shared reading.
  • Anyone curious about books and discussion.

You can also ask us in person when you visit the shop.
