Niall de Burca, one of Ireland's finest traditional storytellers, will be a featured performer for the 2011 HSPLS Children's Summer Reading Program at 14 selected public libraries statewide from June 25 - July 1. Admission is free.

Niall (pronounced like "Neil") de Burca is renowned for his unique storytelling style that showcases a remarkable range of tales told with great charm, judgment and superb timing. A native of the West of Ireland, a land soaked in legend; de Burca will take listeners on an unforgettable journey through the landscape of ancient Ireland. More dangerous than the pied piper, de Burca will cast a spell on young and old alike.

A familiar figure to Irish children through his performances in theatre, festivals and on television, de Burca is passionate about inspiring youngsters through storytelling. In recent years, he directed two CD
projects where young Irish researched and performed traditional tales and rhymes.
