Online Resources
We also offer a smorgasbord of stimulating online resources. As well as a great range of eBooks, eAudiobooks, magazines and newspapers, you can research a topic, stream an opera, learn a language or musical instrument.

The Creative Studio
The Creative Studio in Ballyfermot Library is a free to use digital maker space for music recordings, podcasts, videos, digital stories and oral histories. Two recording booths provide library members with access to audio and video recording equipment and software.
Maker Space at Coolock Library
Makerspaces provide a fun space to learn crafts, trades, and technology. The Maker Space at Coolock Library offers a range of facilities and tools including laptops, a 3-D printer and a vinyl cutter.
Sensory Services
Facilities and collections to support children and adults with additional sensory needs, making libraries more accessible and welcoming for all.
We kicked off our campaign with an exciting 3D art installation by artist 3DJoeandMax. This specially commissioned piece invites you to experience the magic of books and libraries.
It was on display for one day only on Thursday, 3 November at the junction of Henry Street and Liffey Street. Don't worry if you missed it, we will be bringing it to a library near you soon...follow us on social media for updates.
Thanks to everyone who came along and had a chat and interacted with the 3D artwork. It was such a fun day!
