Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

   One story that comes to mind with St. Patrick’s Day is the Blarney Stone. Legend states that if you kiss the Blarney Stone, you will be gifted with persuasive eloquence. In order to kiss the stone, you must travel to Ireland, climb to the parapet of Blarney castle and hang head downwards while holding onto iron bars. To learn more about Irish legends and St. Patrick’s Day, visit the library.
