Rise of the house of Ussher

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / April 12 2003: Rise of the house of Ussher

Trinity College is good at building talked-about libraries. Its oldest and best-known one is the Long Room, which contains many rare volumes, including the internationally famous Book of Kells. Over the last few years, Dubliners will have seen Trinity's newest library, the flagship James Ussher Library, being built more or less under their noses. Adjacent to Nassau Street, the striking-looking new library, which occupies a prominent position in central Dublin's urban landscape, was officially opened yesterday by the President, Mrs McAleese.
