Phibsborough Public Library is an art deco and Georgian style public library in Phibsborough, Dublin. It is included in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Dublin City Council.[1]
Completed in 1934,[2] the building was designed by Robert Sorley Lawrie who was working in the city architect's office under Horace O'Rourke.[3][4] It is the earliest of four similar libraries built in the 1930s by Dublin Corporation within the Dublin suburbs of Phibsborough, Ringsend, Drumcondra and Inchicore.[3]
