Bloomsday

Celebrate the 106th anniversary of the day that James Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses, took place! Fans around the world rejoice by reading from the novel, playing and listening to traditional Irish tunes, re-enacting scenes from the story and/or raising a glass in honor of Joyce.

The novel, set in Dublin, Ireland on June 16, 1904, focuses on the escapades of several characters, particularly Leopold Bloom, throughout an extraordinary day.

Join in the fun by picking up a copy of Ulysses or James Joyce's Ulysses: a critical commentary today at the library. Or, try another of his famous works, such as Dubliners or Finnegans Wake.
