If you're visiting Galway this Summer, we'd love to give you a céad míle fáilte at Kennys. We are just 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from the city centre. There is plenty of parking space outside and all this and more inside! Hope to see you soon! #Galway

The excitement of picking up, opening up and starting a new book is truly one of the great pleasures in life.

We love the Irish way of addressing letters, and even more how they always make their way to the destination! @Postvox P.S. @NualaNiC - we have a letter here for you :)

On this day in 1922, James Joyce's 'Ulysses' was first published in its entirety in Paris. It is also Joyce's birthday. #OnThisDay

We just got a call from someone who got an unexpected book in the post from Kennys today... someone had ordered it for them online as a surprise! They are always lovely phone calls to get as people are always so excited with unexpected book post. 🙂

Many people assume Amazon is always the cheapest option. It's not.

Once again @KennysBookshop is a winner for buying books online. This time half the price of Amazon. 👏

We just had a family call into the bookshop who are on holidays in Ireland from Croatia. They order books online from us regularly, and made a trip to Galway especially to visit the shop. It's made our day! 🥰
