Dublin City Council is delighted to share plans to develop a new Public Library in the heart of Terenure village. The Library will be located on the site of the existing library on Templeogue Road. Our ambition is to deliver a library of circa 1,000 square metres. 

The existing library is a small single storey complex of buildings of 300 square metres and dates from the mid-1950s. The library was constructed in two phases and a temporary toilet was installed on the site in recent years. It is proving difficult to meet the library service needs and expectations of the local community, given the challenges of the existing building.

In 2018, a survey was conducted on the existing buildings by ASI Architects Ltd. The survey recommended that the existing buildings be demolished to make way for a new purpose built library building. The existing buildings would not be capable of supporting additional structures. Neither building is considered to be of notable architectural merit. 

In June 2022 Cubetecture Design Limited were appointed to work on preliminary designs for a new library building. These designs have now been completed and will form part of the information required to secure planning for the new library. 

We intend to initiate a Part 8 planning application in 2024.
