950.0. "Irish Childrens Books Needed - Info" by RUTILE::AUNGIER (Ren� Aungier, Site Telecom Mgr, DTN 885-6901, @FYO) Thu Sep 12 1991 16:29

    I am looking for some childrens books in Irish or the names of books
    that I could read to children. I would like to teach the children more
    Irish.
    
    They speak a little bit but it is a lot easier with books. The Geneva
    Irish Society are shortly going to run Irish language and dance classes
    but I don't want to hold my breath.
    
    If anybody knows of a bookshop which has a catalogue and a mail order
    system, this would be even better or the phone number of a few shops
    that sell Irish books.

	If you don't have any luck finding out here, you could try asking on the Gaelic-l list, I'm sure someone there will know. I have a bilingual Irish/English storybook which I was showing to some children in a Gaeltacht a few weeks ago and they liked it. How old are your children? Craig

	Graig, Thanks for your reply. My eldest is almost 8, 6, and 4. I tried sometime ago to send mail to the Gaelic list and I got an error so I gave up. Can you post the address again please. Rene

	Ren�, I'll put together a list of beginners books for you and mail it in the next few days. There is a selection available locally here and I can pick up whatever you want and mail it. My son (5) attends an Irish language primary school, so I'll include his school book(s). If you wish to contact a bookshop direct, write to: Conor Kenny Kenny's Bookshop High Street Galway He is guaranteed to look after all your needs! Mike.
