The Library Project
Imagine a library dedicated to Photography and Image Culture with unique, contemporary publications from all over the world, for you to enjoy.
In 2011, PhotoIreland commenced a comprehensive collection of books, magazines and zines on contemporary Photography, a collection that will be at the core of a free public library and reading space in our future premises. The project started at the Book & Magazine Fair 2011, it will be an on-going collection.
We are proud of the fact that the collection includes some of Martin Parr’s 30 best books of the decade, and also PhotoIreland’s first book, produced to accompany Parr’s exhibition.
We need your help
To be able to give everyone access to this collection of over 500 items, we need your help: we are looking for a permanent venue with a considerable space to host the books, and also offer a reading area. Ideally, this venue would be located in Dublin city centre and would have a street-facing window and access at ground level. If you think you can help us or you can put us in contact with the right person, do email us at info @ photoireland.org or call +353 87 6856169
