About
Dublin City’s Central Library is inside the Ilac Centre, with a dedicated children’s area, study spaces, and free events. Families usually drop in to pick books, sit for storytimes, or get homework done at the tables. There are sensory supports you can borrow in the library (like ear defenders and sensory toys), plus a few memorable bits for kids such as the Tovertafel magic table. It suits toddlers who’ll happily browse picture books, right up to teens who need a quiet place to read or study.
