📚Book Swap And Social - Treat Your S(h)elf 📚
📚 There are always books that live within ourselves. Some books are living rent-free in the house. We need space for new books and to let go of some old ones. In reality, space to accumulate books in Dublin is only a dream. You may be a tsundoku (book hoarder). And want to let go a few books :-)
This will also provide an opportunity to refresh our literary tastes, book review from the participants, and declutter our bookshelves. ✨
So let's exchange books and discuss them together! 💬
📋 **Guidelines**
* Please bring your used or new books (plural, please!) to swap. Engage in discussions with other participants about the books.
* If you read e-books, I understand your situation; however, you are welcome to join us and take home a few books for your reading.
📝 **How does this work?**
Bring the books you'd like to swap and place them on the **book swap table**. Then pick the book you like and continue the conversations with the particpants.
**What happens if no one picks my book?**
You can take the book back with you or leave it in the table. As an organizer, I will take the book and donate to the charity bookshop or place in the little library like one in Pearse Street Dart Station.
Feel free to walk around and explore what other participants have brought. When you spot something that interests you, grab it before someone else does! Trust me—there's always friendly competition for the best reads.
**Don't forget to bring a bag to carry your new books home!**
We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me.
🔍 **How to find us?**
* When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group.
* If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you.
As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡
I hope to see you all soon! 😊

Singles Social Mixer | Prosecco On Arrival | Dance & Have Fun
One night. Real People. Zero Swiping.
Being single has never looked so good! Whether you're newly single, happily single or simply open to seeing what's out there - Our events are the perfect place to meet new people in a fun, relaxed and pressure free environment. No swiping, no awkward musical chairs. Just a bar with plenty of single people and possibilities.
You can, of course, come just to socialise, have fun and make new friends. As there will be wristbands indicating who’s single and who’s not. After all, single people need wingmen and wingwomen. Am I right?

Scarlet
Synopsis
From visionary Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda (MIRAI) comes a powerful, time-bending animated adventure about SCARLET, a medieval-era, sword-fighting princess on a dangerous quest to avenge the death of her father.

When confronted again by her father's killer, Scarlet faces her most daunting battle: can she break the cycle of hatred and find meaning in life beyond revenge?

Women Who Build
On **14th March**, we’re spending the day building. Portfolios. Personal sites. Tools. Side projects. Anything you’ve been meaning to make but kept putting off because it felt too technical.
The tool is **[Lovable](https://lovable.dev/)**: describe what you want, and watch it appear. No syntax. No Stack Overflow. No, asking a developer friend for a favour.
Bring a laptop. Bring an idea. Better yet, bring a friend.
**This is a beginner-friendly event, no prior experience needed - All Skill levels welcome**
**PLEASE REGISTER ON this link to get entry: [https://giveago.co/register/women-builders](https://giveago.co/register/women-builders)**
## What you could build
A portfolio that actually shows who you are and what you do. A landing page for a project or business you’ve been sitting on. A tool that solves something annoying in your life. A website for a community, a cause, or something completely personal. Whatever you’ve been thinking about building, this is the day.
**This event is celebrating Women in tech, however everyone is welcome!**

Let's go to: Outdoor Yoga + Coffee in Dun Laoghaire
Want to go to Sunday morning outdoor yoga but don't want to go solo? Let's go together and grab a coffee afterwards!
It's been a loooooong winter but spring seems to have finally sprung so it's time to get back out there for the first Yoga Social event of 2026!
Tabhair Aire is an outdoor yoga event in the beautiful surroundings of the Dun Laoghaire baths overlooking the sea. The event is free of charge but you must secure a spot via the link in their bio [@tabhairaire.ie](http://@tabhairaire.ie).
**PLEASE NOTE:** I am not affiliated with the organisers of the Tabhair Aire event. This is simply a social MeetUp for people who want to attend as part of a group and then grab a coffee together afterwards.

About *Yoga Social*:
Love yoga but wish it was a bit more… social? You’re in the right place.
Yoga Social is for people who enjoy yoga and want to meet others who do too. We’re not running classes ourselves — instead, we’re getting like-minded people together to try out different studios, styles, and events together (with coffee and chats afterwards of course).
Whether you’re into hot yoga, slow flow, or just here for the savasana, come join us as we check out new classes, explore wellness spots and events around town, and make some new friends along the way. Sometimes we'll mix it up with the occasional brunch, walk, sauna, sound bath, or whatever else looks like fun.
Open to all levels, all backgrounds, and anyone who is looking for some yoga buddies!

Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation

Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.

Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**

Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
