950.0. "Irish Childrens Books Needed - Info" by RUTILE::AUNGIER (Ren� Aungier, Site Telecom Mgr, DTN 885-6901, @FYO) Thu Sep 12 1991 17:29

    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?

950.2Thanks Graig - 8, 6, 4RUTILE::AUNGIERRen� Aungier, Site Telecom Mgr, DTN 885-6901, @FYOFri Sep 13 1991 09:207
    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.

    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.
