Saoirse is our resident expert on children’s and YA books. She runs our ever-popular kids and YA book clubs and is always happy to recommend books for readers of every age and interest. She is also the person who knows how to locate anything within the bookshop so is the best person to go to with any questions!

Although Paula began her career in Michelin starred restaurants, her real love has always been words. She has a particular talent for matching books to people and can always be relied on for an offbeat but perfect recommendation. She has single-handedly tripled sales of The Constant Soldier and Mornings in Jenin over the past year! Paula runs our very successful Friday book club and is currently writing a novel.

Ilona is a graduate of University of Limerick’s MA in Creative Writing and an award-winning writer so is the ideal person to turn to for help with all things literary. She is especially fond of short stories and essays and is perfectly placed to guide you through our poetry section. She is also responsible for our current staff-wide Twix addiction!
