White Plains Public Library: Irish Lore And Folklore

Press release from the White Plains Public Library:

March 4, 2022

In March, we celebrate Ireland – the Emerald Isle – famous for its luscious green landscapes and friendly people, an island full of enchantment and mystery, inhabited by Leprechauns, Fairies, Pookas, and Banshees. You could attend a Saint Patrick’s Day parade and later find yourself in a room full of shamrocks and friends telling stories of Finn McCool, Jamie O’Rourke, or even a Goat King! However you decide to celebrate Ireland & Irish heritage – FÁILTE! (Welcome!)

Leprechauns & Irish Lore Grab & Go Kits will be available on March 7th, while supplies last.
