Lucan Library
Overview
Lucan Library is a bright, modern South Dublin library on the first floor of Lucan Shopping Centre on the Newcastle Road. It has a large children's area, a seminar room for talks and workshops, and My Open Library, so members can use it from 8am to 10pm every day of the year.
About the library
The library opened in November 2000 and is reached by lift, at the far left of the shopping centre near the Dunnes Stores entrance.
