1. Michael Quirke - Wood Carver
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 25 reviews
Reviewed By christophergrahamhal
Michael Quirke is a rare gem of a human being! His intimacy with Irish faerie tales and mythology left me greatly inspired when my wife and I were fortunate enough to visit Erin's green isle back in 2014. What makes his knowledge so incredible to me is that he's clearly had time to stitch together the stories he tells into a cohesive tapestry of tales over a lifetime. He was willing to carve a small sample carving for free--and I am STILL resolved to surprise my wife with a statue of the goddess Brigid from his outstanding shop! I'm saving up for this Yule and hoping I can afford the cost + shipping all the way from Fotla to Califia!

I’d say this place is one of the rare shops that has kept its traditional look for over 100 years The owner is still present in-store and if your lucky to meet him . He is the last of the Irish gentleman and full of knowledge and still tries what he can do to sell something along the way even without you even noticing ha ha Even just to browse and visit such a store is a treat in itself Staff are fantastic and friendly Don’t miss out when visiting Sligo It on I Connell street

6. Liber
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Liber is more than a bookshop. It is a local and independent bookshop in the heart of Yeats' country. This is a place steeped in arts. We are dripping in (yes rain) but definitely, arts. There are musicians, writers, filmmakers, actors, directors and artists on every street corner here in Sligo. At Liber we cherish them by selling and promoting their works. We stock a wide range of local interest titles: from cooking with surfers and foraging for seaweed to everything you want to know about Yeats. We also sell many general titles, including music. We are an independent family business run by my wife, Ailbhe, and me, Brian Caliendo. My mother and father, Frank and Nuala started the bookshop 15 years ago while Ailbhe and I ran a music shop called Third Wave on the same premises. Liber is now all of these things. Where possible, we source our books from local Irish wholesalers and publishers in an effort to reduce waste and support Irish jobs. We endeavour to support local authors and events where we can.
