Charlie Byrne’s bookshop is continuing its celebration of 20 years in business this Saturday with an end of summer three for the price of two sale on all books.
The shop was originally started by Mr Byrne in June 1989 at a weekend market in Munster Avenue.
Later that year he opened a small shop on Dominick Street. The shop grew and developed over the years and now occupies 3,000 square feet of the Cornstore Mall on Middle Street. The shop is packed with more than 50,000 second-hand, new, bargain, and antiquarian books.
The city centre bookshop has become a mecca for booklovers from Galway, Ireland, and abroad. It has a reputation for having a laid-back, friendly atmosphere with an excellent stock of interesting, unusual and hard to find books, and at reasonable prices.
Charlie Byrne’s has recently opened a branch in Oranmore, situated adjacent to the filling station on the main street.
