Waterford City Library, also known as the Central Library, is a public library in Waterford, Ireland. It was the first to be built of Ireland's many Carnegie libraries. The philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who had previously opened libraries in Scotland and the USA, himself laid the foundation stone in 1903.[1]

Architecture

The classical-style building was constructed on a corner site using Kilkenny limestone. It is a protected structure.[2] In 2004 the library was reopened after having been renovated for its centenary. Images of the library were featured in the Irish Architecture Foundation’s “Lives of Spaces” exhibition at the Venice Biennale of Architecture of 2008.[3]

The title of the exhibition was intended to elicit multiple interpretations, "suggesting that, while spaces can contain many lives, they can equally live many lives themselves".[4]

Carnegie went on to fund four more libraries in County Waterford:

Ballyduff,[5] Cappoquin, Lismore and Tallow.
