The National Library of Ireland (NLI) is the library of record for Ireland. Established in 1877, NLI share the story of Ireland with the world through their unique collections. We care for more than ten million items, including books, manuscripts, newspapers, photographs, prints, maps, drawings, ephemera, music and digital media. The Library is open, free of charge, to all those who wish to consult the collections and enjoy the Library’s services and facilities.
Irish Ministers Catherine Martin and Kieran O’Donnell officially opened the new Joly Lecture Theatre at the National Library of Ireland (NLI). This state-of-the-art facility marks a key milestone in the ‘Reimagining the National Library’ initiative, enhancing Dublin’s cultural landscape.
