Make a donation towards the bookfair costs

The Dublin Anarchist Bookfair is costing about 4,000 euro to put on this year. The costs include flights for speakers, hiring the venues & tables and printing programs & posters.  All of the organisers are unpaid volunteers contributing hundreds of hours of labour between them.  Their work and your donations mean that there is no entry charge for any of the events except the Afters Party.

Any donation you can make towards the costs is welcome. 

   

 

 

 

A big thanks to the Dublin Anarchist Bookfair volunteers who helped us assemble posters last night ahead of putting them around the city this weekend. The bookfair is only possible because of the work of people who volunteer to help with the work on the day and in advance, if you want to volunteer make sure you are registered on our email system at www.wsm.ie/user/registerWe hope to circulate the full timetable of meetings at the bookfair tomorrow, make sure you are on the FB event to see that and other updates. Details are also on our website at www.wsm.ie/bookfair
