Once upon a time in a land far far way (1884 in Thomas Street and Capel Street to be precise) Dublin's first two municipal public libraries were opened. And now, 150 years later, you're using QR codes and phones to open our website.
To show just how far we've come, we’re inviting you to check out our ebooks, audiobooks, eMagazines and eNewspapers. All for free through BorrowBox.
Whether you're already a member, or new to our libraries, everyone is welcome to explore our fantastic eResources.
We'd love to know what your local library means to you and help plan for the future! You are invited to attend FREE drop-in public engagement workshops. All ages are welcome and no booking is necessary.
From 1 May 2024, BorrowBox will offer library members access to newspapers and magazines as well as eBooks and audiobooks. The Libby and PressReader services will no longer be available to library members.
The novels nominated and shortlisted for the Award will be available for readers to borrow from Dublin City Libraries and from public libraries around Ireland, or can be borrowed as eBooks and some as eAudiobooks on the free Borrowbox app, available to all public library users.
Sé ceann de na cuimhní is láidre líon ó laethanta m’óige ná an cumhracht ó na leabhair scoile nua cheannaithe le linn mí Lúnasa nuair cheannaítear iad ón siopa bídeach i Sráid an Teampaill. Samhail iontais a bhí le teacht, na leathnaigh gan léamh, tíortha rúndiamhrachta gan rian choise ós comhair m’aghaidh amach. Bhraitheas an mothú céanna le déanaí nuair bhuaileadh an riar maith de leabhair úr Ghaeilge ar mo dheasc san leabharlann.
Beidh Leabharlanna Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath dúnta ón Satharn 16 go dtí an Luan 18 Márta san áireamh. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh! Osclóidh leabharlanna Dé Máirt 19 Márta 2024.
Dublin City Libraries will be closed from Saturday 16 to Monday 18 March inclusive. Happy St Patrick's Day! Libraries will reopen on Tuesday 19 March 2024.
