About this event

Dublin by Dusk is a new city wide initiative that invites you to experience Dublin city as it stays open late on the last Thursday of every month.

Explore one of Ireland’s great literary spaces, usually reserved for researchers with an NLI Reader’s Ticket.

Visit the Reading Room at the National Library of Ireland on Kildare Street, open from 5:00pm to 8:30pm (last admission at 8:15pm), and experience the historic building after hours.

The Reading Room will remain open until 8:30pm on the last Thursday of each month.
