The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
has its roots in Ireland, thanks to some greedy Vikings who stole gold, and then the mischievous leprechauns who found it and hid it for themselves. We may not have actual gold here at the library, but our treasures are a lot easier to find. Come have some Irish soda bread and sing Irish pub songs, or find calm by learning some simple meditations, or armchair travel to Greece! More info about special and ongoing programs below. Sláinte! |
