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.[2] 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.[1] 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.[3][4]
