Seanchai ("Storyteller" in Irish) Library celebrates the Celtic tradition of stories told around the hearth or in the pub to friends, family, and welcomed strangers. Seanchai Libraries bring stories of all kinds to life, in Second Life.
All stories in voice and take place at Seanchai Libray on Imagination Island, unless otherwise noted. In July and August we'll be asking for donations toward the real world charity Little Kids Rock! Have questions? IM or notecard Derry McMahon, Librarian.

"Blackbird House" is a collection of short stories by contemporary author Alice Hoffman. The stories chronicle the occupants of a certain farmhouse, out in the wilds of Cape Cod, over the course of 200 years. Hoffman is also known for such works as "Practical Magic", "The Red Garden", "Local Gifts" and recently "The Dovekeepers" plus more than two dozen others.
