Liber is more than a bookshop. It is a local and independent bookshop in the heart of Yeats' country. This is a place steeped in arts. We are dripping in (yes rain) but definitely, arts. There are musicians, writers, filmmakers, actors, directors and artists on every street corner here in Sligo. At Liber we cherish them by selling and promoting their works. We stock a wide range of local interest titles: from cooking with surfers and foraging for seaweed to everything you want to know about Yeats. We also sell many general titles, including music. We are an independent family business run by my wife, Ailbhe, and me, Brian Caliendo. My mother and father, Frank and Nuala started the bookshop 15 years ago while Ailbhe and I ran a music shop called Third Wave on the same premises. Liber is now all of these things. Where possible, we source our books from local Irish wholesalers and publishers in an effort to reduce waste and support Irish jobs. We endeavour to support local authors and events where we can.
