Read Green: In Honour of St. Patrick’s Day 

By: Kristin Maloney

As we approach St. Patrick’s Day on the 17th of March, why not add a little extra green to your reading list? Green is the color of luck, prosperity, and the rolling hills of Ireland, making it the perfect theme for your books this month. To get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit, we invite you to explore books with green covers—whether they’re fiction, non-fiction, or a mix of both. It’s an easy and fun way to bring the luck of the Irish into your reading routine!

There are countless stories wrapped in beautiful shades of green on our library shelves. You might discover new authors or revisit old favorites with covers that are as vibrant and inviting as the holiday itself. Plus, green is often associated with renewal and growth, making it a fitting choice for March—a month of fresh beginnings and changing seasons.

Whether you’re picking up a mystery, a classic, or a fantasy novel, books with green covers are a fun and festive way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day all month long. So, why not “read green” at the library? Stop by any one of our library branches to pick out a book with a cover as bright as a four-leaf clover!

May your March be filled with green books and good luck – happy reading!
