Despite being the largest library in Ireland, Trinity College Library has some of the worst opening hours among all of the Irish Universities. The library doesn't open on Sundays. The book budget has been slashed. The new Library Management System currently only allows people to renew books once and doesn't allow holding of books.
If you want to get involved in the campaign to save our library, visit our Save Trinity Library website.
The University Times is the newspaper of the Students' Union and is published once every three weeks during term.
You can read the paper online at www.universitytimes.ie.
