Join us for an adventure in learning Irish Gaelic, “Gaeilge” or just “Irish” as it is known on the emerald isle, Saturdays, here at the Mt. Lebanon Library.
This course is aimed at developing basic conversational skills with no previous knowledge assumed. We will be using the online Buntus Cainte (Fundamentals of Speech) course as a basis for the lessons and a subscription will be included free for all who sign up. Additional notes on turns of phrase, points of grammar, etc. will accompany each lesson.
Irish is the original language of Ireland and has had a difficult history. Outlawed for many years under pain of death, it was kept alive and still exists today as the first language in different areas of the country. It has been recently undergoing somewhat of a resurgence as it is now becoming more popular among the youth.
Irish is one of the Celtic languages, which include Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, Cornish and Manx. This class of languages is rather unique and unrelated to other modern languages.

Doomed Explorers
Abby Mendelson
Sure, it's there. But why do men trek off into the wilderness in search of fame, fortune, satisfaction, self? And what happens when they do -- and everything goes wrong? As we read about our doomed explorers sailing over open seas, hiking deep into treacherous jungles, clambering on impossible peaks, we will explore the warped ideas, growing terror, and eventual destruction of seemingly sane people who thought they could beat the odds -- and Nature herself. In a surprise coda, we'll look at Ernest Shackleton, who did everything wrong on his voyage to the South Pole -- and lived!
This course will meet for four weeks total: June 27th, July 18th, July 25th, and August 1st
Registration required. Attendees should plan on attending all sessions of this course. The online registration sheet will be located on the first session’s calendar entry, but will register attendees for the entire course.

Join David P. Hahner, author of Images of America: Kennywood, to learn about the more than 100 year history of Kennywood amusement park. Founded in 1898 at the terminus of the Monongahela Street Railway trolley line, the park quickly grew into a favorite summertime destination.

In 1987, Kennywood was designated a National Historic Landmark and is known today as America's Finest Traditional Amusement Park.
David P. Hahner Jr. is an avid amusement park and roller coaster enthusiast and has been a lifelong fan of Kennywood. He grew up within two miles of the park and worked summers there while studying at the University of Pittsburgh. He has been an active member of the American Coaster Enthusiasts since 1980 and is a member of the National Amusement Park Historical Association and the Darkride and Funhouse Enthusiasts. Carl O. Hughes is the chairman emeritus of Kennywood Entertainment. In 1990, he became the first living member elected to the Amusement Industry Hall of Fame.

Join us for an adventure in learning Irish Gaelic, “Gaeilge” or just “Irish” as it is known on the emerald isle, Saturdays, here at the Mt. Lebanon Library.
This course is aimed at developing basic conversational skills with no previous knowledge assumed.

Additional notes on turns of phrase, points of grammar, etc. will accompany each lesson.
Irish is the original language of Ireland and has had a difficult history. Outlawed for many years under pain of death, it was kept alive and still exists today as the first language in different areas of the country. It has been recently undergoing somewhat of a resurgence as it is now becoming more popular among the youth.
Irish is one of the Celtic languages, which include Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, Cornish and Manx. This class of languages is rather unique and unrelated to other modern languages.
