Trinity College Library - A small sample of the ancient books that was left in the library

Trinity College Library

Libraries in general are wonderful spaces. But the library at Trinity College is amongst the most
read moremagnificent you will ever see. This library is the largest in all of Ireland. It's also a copyright library, meaning that publishers in Ireland, and I think in the UK as a whole, are required to deposit a copy of everything they publish in this library. (In the U.S., the Library of Congress is also a copyright library.) The Old Library and The Long Room are probably the parts of the library you've seen before, with the latter being particularly iconic. Of course a library will hold a variety of unique items, but Trinity has a special treasure: The Book of Kells, a millennium-year old illuminated text. When exiting the Book of Kells exhibit, you step out into the Long Room and it's worth taking a moment to wander through the library before heading out. (And stop by the college bookstore before leaving, too!)

Can you believe this library has been in existence since 1592?
read more It's probably best known for Book of Kells (9th century) and being the largest research library in Ireland. There are over six million legal items stored here as well. The Long Room is a section of the library that holds the oldest books along with sculptures. For obvious reasons, no photos are allowed once inside though we did grab a couple as we started the tour. We did a self-guided tour that went over an hour. The time really flew by. It was so easy to lost in the incredible history of it all. A must-see for any book lovers, history lovers, and so on.
