    Nope. The opening hours of what is there is quite poor, so hoping for a 24 hour library is wishful thinking I'm afraid.


    Whilst there are a number of smaller library facilities dotted around the city and county, the two main ones are in the Granary, and in Dooradoyle beside the Crescent Shopping Centre.

    I heard someone mention a 24 hour library out the Castletroy side of the city, or is that just a UL one?

    Have no idea to be honest, but it would make sense if UL had a 24 hour facility for it's students, but in terms of public libraries there is no 24 hour one in Limerick to the best of my knowledge.

    The UL library isn't 24hrs either. Closes at 11pm on weekdays which is the latest it stays open.

    You'd struggle to find a pharmacy that's open beyond 9, or a petrol station past 11.
    The Garda stations and Tesco in the Crescent are the only 24hour anything (legal) in Limerick.

    Nearly certain UCC used to open 24hour for a period leading up to the exams. Handy alright if you were sharing a house with wasters...

    The main building in UL is open 24hrs as far as I know. Only entrance and exit is through the Main Entrance, opposite the Library, referred to as the ski slopes. There's usually a security van outside it watching the door but as long as you dont look like you're going in to rob stuff you should get in no worries.
    There's loads of rooms that can be used to study, the B block canteen turns into a bit of a library after 11pm during exam time.

    Now wait for the droves of people saying UL facilities are for UL students only.

    CUH library in cork is 24hr. Perhaps the hospital libraries here might be the same?

    It's been open 24 hours since LONG before there was ever an architecture course in UL.

    OP, If you're just going in for a bit of a study, you shouldn't have a problem. There are some vending machines in the cafeteria in the B1 block too, to keep you going through the night.

    Savage, I'm not a UL student, but will that be an issue, because smelly lit library is the loudest place in Limerick and closes at 9 :mad:

    Not really. You're never asked for ID or anything when you go in there.
