EVERYTHING IRISH

Hi!  This is Debbie from Information Services.  When the month of  March arrives, I immediately think of St. Patrick’s Day.  Whether or not you have any Irish roots, it’s fun to be  “Irish” for one month out of the year.  APL has many sources to help you celebrate and join in the fun of  March’s green holiday.  Here are just a few suggestions, and you can click on the images to check for location and availability:

	Irish Cooking by Biddy White Lennon and Georgina Campbell Check out an Irish cookbook, and surprise your family with an authentic Irish dish.  There is an interesting dessert called “Apple Snow” in Irish Cooking.
	Waking Ned Devine Check out a movie about Ireland.  Perhaps the most well known Irish movie is The Quiet Man starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, but have you seen  Waking Ned Devine? Product Description from Amazon.com: When Ned Devine dies from shock after winning the lottery, two longtime friends, Michael and Jackie, discover the body and agree Ned would want them to benefit from his good luck. They embark upon an outrageous scheme to claim the ticket but first they have to get all the townsfolk to go along with their plan!
	Spectacular Ireland by Peter Harbison If you would like to see beautiful pictures of Ireland, check out this new book.
	Upon A Shamrock Shore by The Irish Rovers If you want to listen to some Irish music, check out one of our Irish Cds.
	The Irish: a Photohistory by Sean Sexton and Christine Kinealy If you are curious about Irish history, go browse the 941.5 section in the non-fiction stacks.
	Football Weekends At Notre Dame by Bill Schmitt …and last but not least, check out one of the many books about the University of Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish.

If you have any fun St. Patrick’s Day traditions, please feel free to share them with us, and remember: It has been said, ” If you’re lucky enough to be Irish…you’re lucky enough!”
