Books posing together for a photo.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bookshops display bestsellers and attractive fiction, making book selection easy and pleasant. Academic libraries, on the other hand, have fiction integrated with literary criticism and it’s not always easy to just walk in and find a novel to read. \u00a0Notre Dame’s Hesburgh Library has a great collection of Irish fiction, but identifying authors and books in the catalog takes time.<\/p>\n

So this list is a selection of Irish fiction available for loan in the Hesburgh Library.<\/p>\n
