Fine as a library, though it can feel a bit cavernous once inside. Maybe cavernous isn't strong…read moreenough, if Bruce Wayne lived in Dun Laoghaire this is what his library would look like. But a good selection and free wifi are not to be sneered at. It really is a good library. Which is part of the reason why the opening hours are so infuriating, how are these hours convenient for anyone? I tried studying here for my Leaving, it wasn't worth the stress. I gave up on my third attempt.

They also have a seperate room where they keep Genealogy books of reference which you need to ask about as it is hidden. There is talk of moving the library to another location and I cannot decide if this is a good or a bad thing. I guess time will tell.

Terrible place for studying, avoid this place if possible. Very loud. For such a vast building it…read morehas space for maybe 80 students (i'm being generous with that number). Get your act together, plenty of potential but at the moment it's once huge waste of space and an eye sore .

As library's go here in Dublin this is very modern and open spaces. Very high ceilings with loads…read moreof natural light. Ideal for reading. There library is more centred around people sitting down and using the facilities over having endless rows of books, the books are mostly on lower shelves so within easy reach. I found it really nice walking around having a quick read of a few books. Even visiting the art exhibition room they have with some odd looking creations inside. Also on the top highest floor you'll be delighted to see a 1916 exhibition with some unique items on show. Worth a visit for that alone considering its now 2016. Very good

This library was all renewed in 2014 and it is now a really nice place for reading and pick up…read morebook. Internet is available in all areas, as long as you have a library card. They have a good selection of books, but most of then fictional - good anyway, if you feel like reading a romance. It is also possible to print and scanner there. The reading areas is large and silent, a definite good spot to spend time at.

It took me a while to realize this Library existed, its tucked away just outside the main village…read morebut I was very pleased when I finally discovered it. There has been minor construction going on for a while with plans to extend the Library and make it better, but it has not disrupted it too much. The opening hours are a little tricky, but you can always ring them up or check online for opening hours. The best thing about Blackrock Library is they have an amazing selection of films and cds. And they dont limit it to 3 cds/films like some other Librarys do. The Library itself is not the biggest, but they do have decent books and a couple of computers with interenet, as well as free wifi. Its normally quiet enough inside and the staff are cool people. You can renew online, phone or in store which is handy.

The staff here fail to realise... They're in a library…read more There seems to be a culture here, in my eyes detrimental, of a library being a congregation point for the community and thereby giving free reign to both the staff and library users permission to speak at the top of their voices. I've never experienced entering a library and staff literally talking from one end to the other, receptionist right beside the study area ringing and answering calls constantly and people talking on there phones with NO SHAME. The entire morning I sat in the library trying to study for upcoming exams the librarian called countless libraries across Dublin looking to locate a children's book called "Foxe's". There is absolutely no consideration given to people trying to read. The reason students and others go to the library is to read books or study and the only environment conducive to these aims is to provide a silent area. Deansgrange library fails to cater for these needs and only operates as a public forum for chat. I understand certain people see the library as an outing from their homes but please discuss current affairs outside and not when people are working. The pleasant nature of the staff get them 2 stars however this is the worst place in the world to go in order to read.

Public libraries will save you a lot of coins and this one is especially nice on sunny days. You can sit on the benches outside whilst reading your book. The interior is pretty bad though, so only come on sunny days.
