3rd April 2023

The work pod has been installed to provide a more private collaborative space for library members to use for work related activities e.g. online interviews, training, group project work or (non-fee) tutoring. The unit is equipped with power and can seat up to four people.

Rules and guidelines for use of the Work Pod

The work pod can be reserved by borrowers aged 15 years or older with a valid public library card from any library authority in the country. The work pod can be reserved over the phone (01 2228300) or in person at the main desk in the Central Library. The reservation must be made by the person(s) using the space.

Reservations are limited to two consecutive hours per day.
