Hi,
Surprised no one threw up some pictures or a link of this recent renovation. I came across it by chance myself (it used to be my local library for 5 years) and since the Ballyroan one is now starting renovation this weekend for about 18 months, I had to sign up to this one again.
Pleasantly surprised and I think they did a fantastic job. Enjoy.
Nice interior design job . . . . but it doesn’t look like they’ve cluttered the place up with too many actual books
Clean and pleasant, but I for one prefered the dusty and occasionally dark interior of old.. And I agree with Gunter about the books, but then again, comfy couches are vital when you want to sip a latte and skim through the latest Dan Brown, so space had to be made
Also, please, leave Kevin St Library alone..
Some very nice pics…I think it looks very well.
Great pics murrmurr! Thanks for posting.
Wow, it looks alot brighter and a little grander then last time I visited!

After the 2 year wait I’ve yet to see the lift being used 😉
It’s nice but there is a lot less seating and books.
Seriously.. does the furniture HAVE to be that ugly?
The interior looks bright, modern and clean – everything you don’t want in a library :). Shame the furniture looks so cheap. Did they run out of money. Some more books would have been nice too. It feels like a combination between a waiting room and an Internet cafe.

Not convinced it is too bright; many libraries are quite bright; the exterior scrubbed up really well;
I absolutely hate it! It was my local library for a long time. It looks lovely in the photos, but in real life it looks like a cheap job. The staircase – no change, maybe a little cleaner. The grey bookcases – well, they used to be wooden bookcases. Now they look like mdf. The impressive desk at the entrance – gone. Not happy. Nor is anyone I’ve spoken to.
