A huge happy birthday to friends at Banner Books, one of the finest bookshops in the land. 🎉📚

[Banner Books, Ennistymon & Kilrush @Banner_Books]

We are two years old today! On 23 July 2019 we very quietly opened our doors to the public - so quietly in fact that we took only €4 through the till. Happily these days we are a bit busier, apart from when we aren't open at all (thank you, Covid). Thank you ...>>
