Blackrock Library opened to the public yesterday on June 16th, Bloomsday, at 10.00am! We welcome back all our library users! Come and see the beautifully updated, modernized and extended library on the site of the Town Hall complex which also accommodates the Blackrock Further Education Institute (BFEI). 

Architects McCullough Mulvin carried out the redesign and refurbishment.


An Cathaoirleach Cllr. Marie Baker said " I am delighted that the people of Blackrock and the wider dlr Library community can avail of this bright, spacious library with its enhanced public internet and self-service facilities and most importantly the extended selection of books, CDs and DVDs. The attractive Reading Room area will undoubtedly be a much sought after space for regular book clubs, storytelling sessions and for students and readers alike."

We look forward to welcoming everybody back to this much loved local library over the next few weeks. A formal launch will take place later in the summer. For more information check out our website: http://www.dlrcoco.ie/library/
