A Pot of Gold

Here's an old Irish toast for you from the Bookery, just in time for St. Patrick's Day:
"May you have all the happiness
and luck that life can hold.
And at the end of all your rainbows
may you find a pot of gold!"

Come see our selection of beautiful and interesting books on all things Irish.




Beware...some of them might leave you aching to plan a trip!




Or just brushing up on your fun (and funny) Irish folklore, wisdom and tidbits.


Inspire the kids as well...


Or teach yourself a traditional Irish tune!

Maybe your "pot of gold" is right here in this treasure trove of books here on our shelves!
Happy St. Patricks Day from all of us.
