A great facility to have on your doorstep, the only problem is that I feel it is sadly underused by…read morethe average inhabitant of my area. Maybe things will change now and people will go back to the old ways of borrowing a book rather than buying it and throwing it away :-/ In any case, this library is fantastic, great staff, great for kids,m always something interesting going on and in a great accessible location.

I've been a member here for a few years now, but just never thought of writing a review! It's a…read morefantastic service, and I just wish I had time to read everything they have!! 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!!

A poor man's Book of Kells, this library can hold its own. Entry is under 10 euros and the…read moredisplays should keep you busy for about a half hour. I would not say it is a cannot miss in Dublin, but if you have extra time or are here for a return visit, I would certainly recommend working it in. So what will you find. Tons of old books. A bit of history on books, writing, and the printing press. A cool Instagram-able shot or two if you want a smart looking selfie. Enjoy!

We bought the combo ticket with St Patrick's Cathedral and really enjoyed our visit to the Library…read moresince it had an exhibit showcasing the oldest printed books in the world. Inside every shelf and bookcase were packed with so much history. More impressive than the setting for the Book of Kells since many of the books were under restoration. The oldest books for the exhibition were in display cases to highlight specific topics, authors, designs, printing methods and/or age. It was really quite impressive. I got a kick out of the Easter "egg" hunt they crafted for Easter weekend. The Lego minifigs were hidden throughout the library and we just checked off our handout as we went a long. We did find all the minifigs eventually so they did a good job of placing them in the library. Staff here were so outgoing and informative. Always ready to provide more details or answer questions. As we exited through the gift shop we walked through a quiet but pleasant garden. Must see in Dublin!

Unlike other libraries the children's and adult sections are separate. Both are large, bright,…read moremodern and welcoming spaces. The children's side is to the left and I have memories of walking up to Ballymun to get books that my own local library didn't have and sitting on the comfy chairs reading C.S Lewis and J.R Tolkien for hours before being thrown out to carry my armload of books all the way back to Drumcondra. The library remains to me a place of wonder and learning and nothing beats reading a library book, not even the kindle. I'd miss the smell of books if I were never to go into a library again. Ballymun library is one of my favourite libraries and i've been a member of a few, both in Dublin and London. There is also plenty of parking outside.

They have a good stock of books covering and ranging many subjects. There are also four computers, where you can book a 50 minute Internet session. In addition, the library permits members of the public to use the toilet - something many libraries in Dublin won't do!

Armagh City Library located on Market Street is a public library offering book borrowing, free…read morewifi, public computers, audiobooks, newspapers and faxing, scanning and photocopying facilities to members. It's a warm, welcoming, small library located in a beautiful, square, Georgian style building dating from 1815 (the building itself is called Market House). There are some comfy chairs and sofas to relax in and as with all libraries a peaceful, quiet vibe pervades. If you are a member of public Libraries NI you can use your library card in any public library. So if you are visiting Armagh from Belfast or Newry, or anywhere else, you can use the full Armagh City Library facilities and also return or borrow books there. For locals Armagh library run various events including adult and children's book and reading clubs, patchwork quilting and knitting groups throughout the week. I love public libraries and wish more people used them. If you want a book which is not in your local branch, for a few pence, you can order a copy in from another library. Why spend a fortune buying traditional or electronic books?! Nowadays even top, popular, best sellers and new release books are available free from public libraries or can be ordered in for you. It's also free and easy to join a public library - just pop in with proof of identification showing your name and current address e.g. a bill or driving licence. Painless! So go on - do it!
