Library Spaces The County has 8 branch libraries serving the community, educational and recreational needs of all who live, work or study in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown area. They are Blackrock, Cabinteely, Dalkey, Deansgrange, dlr LexIcon, Dundrum, Shankill and Stillorgan Libraries. All dlr Libraries are accessible buildings and are safe, welcoming, inclusive community spaces. Libraries are free to join with no charge to borrow books, and no overdue fees. We have some community spaces available for events and meetings, study and exhibition spaces. There is a music room with piano, harp, digital piano and a guitar available for booking in Dalkey Library. The Studio at dlr LexIcon is a theatre space that can seat 125, and the Municipal Gallery is also located in the LexIcon with a year-round calendar of exhibitions and related events programme, managed by dlr Arts Office. Library services and resources All library authorities in Ireland are connected and share a national catalogue. This means if you need to reserve books from a different county, it’s possible to have them sent to your local library for collection, for free. You can also borrow and return items to any library, anywhere in the country. We are constantly looking for innovative ways to reach out to communities by improving access and expanding the range of services available. As well as books, dlr Libraries also stock large-print books, audiobooks, music CDs and DVDs. A wide selection of daily and weekly newspapers and magazines are available to browse. Free Internet access and Wi-Fi is available in all branches. For a small charge, black & white or colour photocopying, scanning, and printing is available. You can print from the library computers but also directly from your laptop, tablet, smartphone, or remotely from your computer at home.
