Clondalkin

Clondalkin Library is an Arts and Crafts style Carnegie building located on Monastery Road, complete with its own Tower and (reputed) ghost!  It was built in 1911, refurbished in 1972 and opened as a full-time library in December 1972.  The library is on two floors, with the adult library on the ground floor and a children's section upstairs.  A Noah's Ark sculpture, created by the children of South Dublin for the Mosaic Quake project in 1998 is on permanent display.  Regular storytimes, arts and craft activities, and the junior bookclub are held in the junior library.  
 
Clondalkin village is an historic village in South Dublin, containing one of Ireland's best preserved Round Towers, the Irish cultural centre of Áras Chrónáin and Tully's Castle.  The library is a local amenity and focal point, working closely with local schools and community groups, aiming to give a friendly welcome to all.
