Dublin City Libraries have lots on offer for our younger members! As well as books, we have lots of free online resources for fun or for homework help.

We have an excellent selection of online research and reference tools to suit all age groups: from primary school to university; from early years to life-long learning.

The Lord Mayor’s Certificate course in Local Studies is offered by Dublin City Council (DCC) as part of its commitment to life-long learning. The course examines the local dimension of Ireland’s past and is taught in an engaging and accessible manner by DCC Historian in Residence Cathy Scuffil.

Family events and activities take place in all libraries during the month of December to support the involvement of the whole family in children’s reading.

Libraries are one of THE most important gathering places in our communities. Not only are they places of learning and personal growth but leisure.

The section’s main aim is to go out into the community and let people know about all the amazing things available in their library, both in branch and online.

Going to school for the first time is a big milestone in a child's life. It's an exciting, yet somewhat nervous time for the whole family. We have put together a list of some of our favourite 'Going to School' books, which we hope will help your family navigate this new experience. All books are available to borrow or reserve in your local library.
