The Library Log

The Dublin Public Library welcomes patrons. Hours of service are 12 PM-5 PM Tuesday-Friday. Services available are regular checkout, curbside checkout, faxing, printing, and public computers.

In this “new normal,” there are many places where access is limited or not possible. We as the public find ourselves taking on many roles, DYU— “do-it-yourself.” The library has resources that can help with many of those issues.
