    Hi,

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent quiet library space to study in for this may and June? I used ucd before but as it's the summer for my next set of exams they will be seriously reducing their hours which is a pain.

    Thanks

    If you're a student you should be able to get access to Trinity library.

    I think they reduce hours like ucd for the summer but thank you anyway

    Whereabouts do you live in Dublin? Coffee shops tend to be great for this sort of thing, libraries too.

    I'm out by booterstown atm so ucd would have been ideal.

    Starbucks in Rathmines would suit you pretty well if you had the money for bus fair and a coffee. There should be two, the one near the garda station shouldn't be too populated.

    Rathmines library might be okay too, but there could also be too many people for you.

    Rathmines Library. The upstairs is surprisingly quiet. Generally if anyone is having a conversation, the crowd studying for the FE1s or accounting exams tell them what to do

    Note there's a school of music in the same building and the band can strike up at short notice, not always the most conducive to study!

    There's a library in Blackrock and I think there's one in the RDS that a mate of mine used to study in...might be worth looking into too.

    National Library in Kildare St?

    I imagine they would be finished up for the Summer by now?

    I'm confused - what times is the OP looking to study at? What are the reduction in library hours in Trinity and UCD?

    I need evenings after college and weekends. They haven't said but been told it's likely 9-5 and closed sundays

    Why can't you study where you live or am I being obtuse?

    Too many distractions. I find it's never a good idea to study where you live. I can't switch off

    I must be lucky. I always studied with tv and radio on...and got a first.

    Would second national library. Plus as weather gets better you can do outside. I used drive to sandymount etc.

    To each their own. I need a quiet environment with a desk. It works. I'm not going to change now.
