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 offer courses in 70 languages, family history resources, podcasting facilities, even 3D printers and musical instruments you can borrow.
Borrowing from Dublin City Libraries has always been free and it always will be. We don’t even charge fines anymore.
And in case you were wondering, you can still borrow books, including all of the bestsellers you saw hidden in our QR code. Some things never change.
The end? No this is just the beginning.
