Inis magazine: issue 78

July  2026

The European Issue. ‘While much of Children’s Books Ireland’s work is focused here at home, a large chunk of what we do also reaches beyond the confines of our own borders. […] It is timely, then, that we would publish a celebratory edition of Inis which has a particular European focus throughout this issue’s features.’   In this edition:

• An Ghaeilge san Aontas Eorpach: Cur síos ó Shanna Ní Rabhartaigh ar a saol agus a cuird oibre aistriúcháin san Aontas Eorpach
• Comics Mon Amour: Juliette Saumande delves into the French love for comics
• Sharing Stories: Gráinne O’Brien reflects on her experiences with the RISE Bookseller Exchange Programme
• Who Are the Light Bearers of Literacy? Emmi Jäkko shares the value of books and community in Finland
• The Insider’s Scoop: A new feature on someone working hard behind the scenes in the world of books. This issue we meet Sinéad Mac Aodha
• Reviews/Léirmheasanna
