Great experience seeing book of kells, very imformative and loved the second part of the experience. would recommend doing.Full review by Chan G

I visited when they had just one book open with no illustrations on it. They told me I could view on their website. I told them I could do that at home. Their website didn’t have info in what was being shown. Phone call?
I will be in Dublin from 29 December 2022 to 2 January 2023, do you know if the library is closed in that days ? because i tried to book a visit on their website but is not possible:(

For anyone planning on visiting the Old Library: The Old Library will close in October 2023 for three years (restoration).
