For the month of September we will be getting ready for the Festival by highlighting some of the books in our own vast history collection. These books can be borrowed from our Spotlight display shelves on Level 1 of the James Joyce Library. Just look for the Festival poster! We will be replacing and rotating titles throughout the month, so there will always be something new to browse.

Below are just some of the books we'll be featuring.
