The International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award

Christchurch City Libraries has a chance every year to influence the largest and most international literary prize by nominating three books for The International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

The International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award is a joint initiative of Dublin Corporation, the Municipal Government of Dublin City, and the productivity improvement company IMPAC. It involves libraries from all corners of the globe, and is open to books written in any language.
