If reading these books is wrong, we don't wanna be right! Banning books doesn't make them go away, as these spectacular novels that were previously banned in Ireland show 📚

How many are you gettin'? 📚

Six gold stars are displayed with examples of positive library behaviour: bringing a student card, keeping phones on full silent (not vibrate), not bringing food, using spill-proof drink containers, renewing loans online before they are overdue, and staying quiet in designated quiet spaces.

The strategic positioning of the bikes, looking across at all the restaurants and takeaways, was for peak motivation. Glad you like them, Nigel!

Djamel White finishes the #DCUBookClub with his reading recommendations - Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada. The Green Road by Anne Enright also gets a special mention as an influence on a key scene in his novel All Them Dogs.

Despite its gritty depiction of gangland Dublin Djamel White talks about how most people can resonate with the problems the characters are experiencing in All Them Dogs #DCUBookClub

Djamel White answers questions about All Them Dogs from the #DCUBookClub audience. He discusses the novel's influences, language, themes and its reception by audiences outside Ireland.

All Them Dogs is set in Djamel White's native West Dublin and tells the story of Tony's attempt to prove himself in the criminal underworld. The Booker judges praised the author for his ear for 'racy and unreal' dialogue and for creating characters that jump off the page. #DCUBookClub
