It is a pleasant library with a friendly, helpful staff and a good collection of books. There are two sections- adults and children which are seperated by the main desk. There are also computers for general use in the childrens section. I really like this library as it is small and peaceful, and the idea of seperating the childrens and adults books has alot to be said for it.

But a good selection and free wifi are not to be sneered at. It really is a good library.

The kids love it too, and especially love returning and borrowing their books now that they have computerised the whole affair!! They try to 'fool' the computer by hiding a small book in the middle of the stack of 10 books - but the clever ole computer always sees it!!! It's a big library and theres lots going on. The staff are nice and really helpful, my kids usually have a query of some sort, and the staff always try and solve it for them, in a very polite manner! I've deducted a star only because the toilets are always in need of attention, and unfortunately with kids someone always needs to go!!

Yes theres bigger Libraries with more books and services but Terenure certainly has plenty to offer despite its modest size. As well as the usual book borrowing service, Libraries are free I think thats pretty great in itself, they offer free wireless, study space, it is small but there none the less, a plethora of official forms and lots and lot of info on community projects and education resources. The staff will be more then happy t o talk you through the wonders of the Internet too if your new to the web. They've also got a Irish and English reading groups ever week and a Irish conversation exchange each week if you wanna practice your Gaeilge.

Fantastic selection of books, DVDs and CDs. I already have a list the length of my arm for what to pick up next time. The cookbook and craft books were up to date and full of great ideas. There's also an area downstairs where you can read newspapers and magazines. The decor is very modern, comfy and airy with beanbags and armchairs to lounge on while you read. Getting a library card was quick and painless. I just provided a copy of a utility bill on my smartphone as proof of address and I was good to go! You can also return books to any of the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown area libraries. There's a pop up cafe downstairs to enjoy pastries, sandwiches and coffees. Probably not the best place to study without sound canceling headphones as a lot of inconsiderate parents let their kids run around screaming while people tried to concentrate

After the old Dun Laoghaire library shut, I eagerly awaited the opening of the new one, and wasn't disappointed with what appeared. A huge building, dominating the skyline of the town, once inside you enter a space filled with high ceilings, lots of light and amazing views of the harbour. Even if you don't like books (or newspapers,DVDs, artwork and exhibitions), it's worth visiting the library for the views alone. BUT if you do want a bit more from your library, it doesn't disappoint. Three floors of books (fiction, non-fiction, travel to name a few), newspapers, magazines, audio books, DVDs and CDs; activities for all; art exhibitions; seating areas to do work; a local history section; and even a cafe downstairs. In a time when funding for libraries is constantly being cut, it's great to see such an investment for the future.
