Ringsend Library

Ringsend library is a real community library — there always seems to be something going on here, from coffee mornings to internet tuition sessions and toddler groups.
The library building is located at the very heart of Ringsend, in the centre of the main junction on Bridge Street. The layout is very open plan so there are no nooks to hide away in, but the librarians are helpful and there’s a real community atmosphere in the place. You can also rent DVDs here for up to a week at a time!

My pay cheque arrived today… actually, a statement from the bank arrived with little damp smudges all over it where someone had cried laughing having read it.
It is official, I can no longer afford to spend my time on
and CDwow — I couldn’t even afford
if it existed any more… not that I as an upstanding member of the community would ever use a pirate site that charged for DVDs by weight… and they really did!
Time, in short, to start watching my pennies which means going to the library instead of buying books and CDs, and as it turns out it aint such a bad idea at all.
The library has a large collection of DVDs which you can borrow for up to a week — free of charge! — be warned though, late fees for DVDs are expensive, the days of 3p a day are well gone!
There is also free Wi-​fi, computers for browsing, and a printer — though again be warned, it costs 75C per page so not exactly cheap.
All in all, tremendous!
