Irish eyes are smiling at the Library this time of year, and not just because the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is going to pass in front of our landmark 42nd Street building on Thursday. We’re also opening our new exhibit Ireland America The Ties that Bind today at our Library for the Performing Arts. The free, multimedia exhibit focuses on Irish American performance history from the 19th and 20th centuries. There are movies and public programs (all free) accompanying the exhibition so make sure you check it out!
Meanwhile, you can bring the St. Patrick’s Day spirit home by searching through our DIgital Gallery for St. Patrick’s Day cards - like the one above taken from a St. Patrick’s Day card in our Mid-Manhattan Library Picture Collection - or by checking out a few picture books on the subject for the child in your life. Betsy Bird from the Children’s Center at 42nd Street compiled this list of books about Ireland or St. Patty’s Day to get you started:
Great Irish Picture Books
Too Many Fairies: A Celtic Tale
Fergus and the Night-Demon: An Irish Ghost Story
St. Patrick’s Day Picture Books
Traveling Tom and the Leprechaun
The Leprechaun Who Lost His Rainbow
Jamie O’Rourke and the Big Potato
