The Library Project

The Library Project is a bookshop specialising in books on photography, a library and a gallery space. The library contains photo-books, fanzines and magazines relating to photography. It was founded as part of the PhotoIreland Foundation's work in 2011 with the aim of improving access to specialised photography printed material for purchase or study. It was initially part of a book fair and a collection of material that arose from that event in 2011. PhotoIreland Foundation and The Library Project found permanent premises in Temple Bar in 2013.
