This project sounds really cool and perhaps a better way to celebrate Irish culture than drinking green beer. I’m going to go through my bookshelves to see if I have any books by Irish or Irish American authors that I am willing to part with.
Donate your books to the inaugural Irish Arts Center Book Day in New York City
