Whilst not as big as the Long Room at Trinity College, this collection is in original condition going back to the 1700s.
I wish there was more of a tour for it, or a small handbook. There is sure to be hundreds of stories that that museum has to share, but unless you ask its not really presented.

Thank you!
Don't miss a chance to visit this historic library in Dublin! Very small in size but very vast in range of content and quirky stories. See ancient textbooks, locked "reading cages" and a great overview by the library staff. Small fee, plan to spend about...More

It's a very short visit and the fee of 3€ each may seem like a lot for it but it does contibute to preserving the place, which is stunning. Incidentally, we had a lot of fun making our own bookmarks and taking pictures in the...More
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you had fun!!
You pay € 3.00 to get in, and a lady gave us a brief introduction, after waht we had a look round. The library is not big, but as many old books, so it's a interesting place to see.
