19 Best Things to Do in Dublin, From Bookstores to Breweries | Condé Nast Traveler

"It's Ireland's first public library, dating to the 18th century and envisioned as a reading room for the people; visitors can pay admission to browse genuinely antique stacks (James Joyce was a known patron), and the collection includes an impressive antique Jewish and Hebrew bookhold." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner

So glad that I learned about this library. I got to see the books up close (look at those details!). I think that's the most exciting part of this space. You can see and smell the books! The staff was really nice. You can just walk in and get your ticket.

My favourite library in Dublin. Nothing too big of fancy like Trinity collège, but it is full of charm. 2nd time there. 5 € entrance, you ll spend between 30min to an hour there.

One of my favorite discoveries in Loved everything about it, from all the books on the old bookshelfs, the staff of knowledgeable librarians, the little garden at the end and even the bathrooms with the normal toilet paper (thank you for using 3-ply toilet paper, unlike the rest of Dublin where you only get one or two ply). And thank you for taking such good care of the books, booklovers everywhere appreciate it. :)

Superb hidden jewel in Dublin. The entrance is magical, the staff is too! It felt like walking into history. I was so mesmerized by this place. A public library from 1707.

Another incredibly interesting place in Dublin's veins. Even though is kinda small, it is, without a doubt, a magical place for history and libraries lovers. Every detail is incredible. I guess I was lucky because it was a lovely and sunny Satuday afternoon, so the sunlight through the windows made the photos very beautiful.

This place is beautiful and full of history. Thanks to educated people, such places have been preserved throughout the centuries. Here you can touch history, stand by the fireplace where Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker and other prominent figures spent their time. Very interesting and atmospheric place, cozy garden. The books impress with their appearance and preservation. I highly recommend coming here with a tour to hear and see about this incredible place.
