A graceful little library with a rather unfortunate porch attached. This small brick library just off Merrion Road and surrounded by RDS property has an interesting central bay. This pedimented bay has an inset arch with a round window. The curve of the arch and round window is mirrored in the three bays of round headed windows to either side. The roof has a small copper cupola.
