Lose yourself in the library

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!
