The GAC houses a library consisting of over 2,500 books, newspapers, magazines, and videos,  as well as a copy of The Book of Kells.  All our books are written by Irish authors.

Books are arranged by categories consisting of:

There is also a Children’s section containing books on Folklore and Myths.

Donation Policy

Donations can be left on the designated shelf in the Library. The Gaelic American Club Library’s collection focuses on Ireland: it’s history, culture, geography, literature and people. We welcome your donations on the previously mentioned topic.

The donated books will be used for years to come so they must be in good condition. Not every book donated meets the specific needs of our library, because of the limitation of our size and the specific focus of our collection.

If we cannot use your donated books or materials in the GAC Library, we will donate the books to another library that has a general collection. If you prefer the books be returned to you, please leave your name and telephone number with the book.
