A beautifully-preserved building from the early eighteenth century. Opened as Ireland’s first public library in 1707, the original oak bookcases house more than 25,000 rare and fascinating books and the Library features year round exhibitions. Famous past readers have included Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker, and James Joyce. Children particularly welcome, but do beware of the ghost of the Archbishop

Often forgotten in the rush to get to The Trinity Library and see the Book of Kells, Marsh’s Library is tucked away behind a narrow metal gate in a high stone wall that extends from the back of St Patrick’s Cathedral. You could easily pass the library by without noticing. However, if you follow the peppery smell of leather up the stairs that lead inside, you will discover a tiny haven of history and learning, and a Gothic world in miniature. Towers of books line the walls from floor to ceiling.

Marsh’s Library, built by Archbishop Narcissus Marsh (1638-1713), was the first public library in Ireland and is one of the very few 18th century buildings left in Dublin that is still being used for its original purpose. The interior of the library, with its beautiful dark oak bookcases each with carved and lettered gables, topped by a mitre, and the three elegant wired alcoves or ‘cages’ where the readers were locked in with rare books, remains unchanged since it was built three hundred years ago. It is a magnificent example of a 17th century scholars’ library. Note: Marsh's Library is just around the corner from St. Patrick's Cathedral.
