    Do you have to be a student of DIT to use the Kevin Street library?

    Just for study, I don't need to take a book out or use the internet, although it would be handy if I could access the internet from my own laptop, but i'm assuming this is not possible, as I am not a DIT student

    To use a DIT library you normally have to be a DIT staff or student.

    In special cases, eg if you need to read stuff that is not otherwise available, you can ask the library staff to allow you temporary admission.

    For this, you would certainly need to be able to show Photo ID. Also, the libraries are very busy at the moment so you might be asked to come during a quiet period.

    Thanks for the quick response, so basically you need to present a student ID card just to enter the library?

    I'm just looking for somewhere around the Kevin street area to study for a few hours during the day, can anyone recommend anywhere?

    There is a public (Dublin City Council) library also on Kevin St.

    You can (but officially can't) use the D.I.T. library as a non-student. There is no one checking ID at the door, however you won't be able to use photocopying facilities with out a student card. You will also need a D.I.T. username and password to access the WiFi.

    Sorry for the old bump, but can anyone confirm if it's still the case that Kevin Street library don't check ID? I'd like to pop in and study for a bit.

    Cheers,
    (Former student)

    The library regularly asks for ID, especially from unfamiliar users. There are not many readers in Summer, so this is more likely now.

    Cheers,
    I'll chance it... If I fail I'll hit a coffee shop as an alternative..
