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!!

Staff are so helpful. Great selection of books. Will order in something if they do not have it…read more Lovely atmosphere there.

Learned a bit about W.B. Yeates and the exhibit was open to the public without charge for admission. Overall cleanliness: excellent Time budget: unless you're a W.B. Yeates fan, budget 15 minutes.

Regular exhibitions and special events take place - check out http://www.southdublinlibraries.ie for details. An ideal escape from the hectic Square Shopping Centre across the road.

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.

A very good resource for the local community in this part of Dublin. The staff are very helpful,…read moreefficient, professional, and knowledgeable. 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!
