    Hi,

    I'll be visiting Dublin soon and was wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any quiet libraries around the city centre where I could get some work and study done in the evenings? Preferably in D2 as it will be closer to where I'm staying.

    Cheers.

    Ilac centre has a library on the top floor. But its always full. There is another DCC library in Rathmines, which is also packed. Everyone used them for the free wifi

    There's a study area upstairs in Pearse Street library in D2. Exactly what you are looking for. Think you might have to pre-book though. Give them a call to confirm.

    National Library on Kildare St - open until 1945 most evenings.

    Also if you're a student in another college you can get a reader's ticket for TCD's library. You just need a letter from your 'home' librarian.

    National library isn't a normal library. You need to show ID and fill out a form to enter. Plus they expect you to get a long term card

    I know, but it's free isn't it - and as quiet spots go the reading rooms are great and well supervised.
