<\/a><\/p>\nI\u2019ve held a National Library reader\u2019s ticket for a number of years now and my current ticket doesn\u2019t expire until 2017, however I did need to visit Reader Services in order to acquire a password for wifi access which is available in both reading rooms. If you have a valid reader\u2019s ticket you can order items online in advance of your visit. If working in the Main Reading Room you can order up to three items at a time and you can choose items to be delivered at any of the 10 available call times; bags and coats must be stored in the lockers located in a small room on the left after the security desk. The variety of call times available to readers working in the Main Reading Room facilitates with planning your research schedule and it\u2019s possible to hold items for up to a week by filling in the forms available at the main desk. Copying and microfilm facilities are available onsite; see the library\u2019s website for further details. The Manuscripts\u2019 Reading Room is smaller than the Main Reading Room, however there is space to seat approximately 30 readers. Storage space is limited, consequently the number of items you wish to order may be restricted. The library is located in the centre of Dublin city so there are plenty of caf\u00e9s and restaurants to choose from if you are in need of lunch or a coffee break; Caf\u00e9 Joly is located on the ground floor at the main site.<\/p>\n
