The Trinity College Library, the centrally-administered library of Trinity College, Dublin, is the largest library in Ireland. As a "copyright library", it has legal deposit rights for Ireland. It is also the only Irish library which holds such rights for the United Kingdom also.

The current librarian, Robin Adams, is Chair of the Irish Universities Association Librarians' Group.

Staff and students of the University of Dublin also have access to the libraries of the Adelaide and Meath Hospital, Tallaght, and the Irish School of Ecumenics, Milltown.
