    Is that 30 minutes from 11.00am to 11.30am? Or starting roughly at 11/11.30am.

    - Would Parents really consider to packing up everything, travel time, finding/paying for parking and same in reverse for a very short 30 minutes of storytime?

    Best of luck with it etc.

    Starting at 11.00am.

    In relation to your concern re: the length of the storytime, Saturday is our busiest day for families, we average our footfall at around 400 people each Saturday from 10.00am to 1.00pm. The main draw for these families to visit is the Children's Library itself (10,000+ books, Puzzles, Colouring Pages, Cd's, DVD's), the highly popular Storytime is another great reason to avail of our service on this day.

    It's a 5 minute walk. I've created a Street Map for all four of our branches in the city, click here to view it.

    The one you are looking for is the Central Branch in the Granary Building on Michael Street. (same building as the Trinity Rooms Nightclub)
