Remote Learning & Library Supports: Library Services Update

The library is now open at our new location in Spencer Dock. 

Online Library Resources which include ebooks, databases, academic journals, and more are available 24/7 and from any location. Library staff is available for online support by email (library@ncirl.ie) and LibChat. Or you can contact the Library Academic Support Centre for one to one support for assignments and research via email (libraryacademicsupportcentre@ncirl.ie) or through online appointments available to be booked here.

To browse and borrow books, you can visit the Library during the opening hours. See our Library Essentials guide for more details about finding books in the Library as well as borrowing and renewing books.


If your items go overdue, fines of €1 per item per day will accrue. If you accrue €10 or more, your account will be blocked and you will not be able to borrow or renew items until you have cleared your fine. NCI Library is now cashless, only debit or credit card payments are accepted.


Books can be returned by leaving them in the 'Book Returns Box' located in the ground floor lobby of the Spencer Dock Campus Building, or they can be returned by using the self-service machines on the 4th and 5th floors in the library.
