Samson, George Cunningham and Codney pictured in Dimma's Books - the two books are some of George's best known works about Roscrea
During April to honour St Cronan (28th April is his feastday) Dimma's Books will be offering a three for two deal - take three books and get the cheapest one free.
Roscrea's very special boutique bookstore, located in the Vincent's SVP shop on Church Street, was created by famed Roscrea historian, author and bibliophile, George Cunningham, who is known for his compassion towards people seeking refuge in Ireland and is offering free books, in honour of the Monk Dimma and Roscrea's St. Cronan.
The bookstore is named after the monk Dimma, who created the stunning Book of Dimma prayerbook which is kept in Trinity College in Dublin. Reproductions of the Book of Dimma can be seen in Damer House at Roscrea Castle.

For his Feastday on the 28th Dimma Books will present daily prayer books in their own language to Ukrainians and boxes of children's books from 12 o'clock. Any refugee or those seeking international protection in Roscrea will get a free book courtesy of Cronan and Dimma between 11am and 1pm.
