A beautifully-preserved building from the early eighteenth century. Opened as Ireland’s first public library in 1707, the original oak bookcases house more than 25,000 rare and fascinating books and the Library features year round exhibitions. Famous past readers have included Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker, and James Joyce. Children particularly welcome, but do beware of the ghost of the Archbishop

Often forgotten in the rush to get to The Trinity Library and see the Book of Kells, Marsh’s Library is tucked away behind a narrow metal gate in a high stone wall that extends from the back of St Patrick’s Cathedral. You could easily pass the library by without noticing. However, if you follow the peppery smell of leather up the stairs that lead inside, you will discover a tiny haven of history and learning, and a Gothic world in miniature. Towers of books line the walls from floor to ceiling.

Oldest lending library in Dublin. Little change in 300 years. Soak up that atmosphere. James Joyce, Dean Swift and many more worked/studied here.
