There may be some off campus access issues between 00.00 AM and 10.00 AM Saturday 30th March. This is due to upgrades on the content management system and unfortunately is outside of WIT Libraries’ control. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Any Books You Don’t Need?

The 7th March is World Book Day. We are hoping to send a shipment of books to Africa via MacTrans.

We would welcome any third-level books from WIT staff and students that are less than 10 years old and in good condition. The circulation desks in both the Cork Road and the College Street campus libraries will be happy to take them from you.

Book Aid is part of the Meitheal project.
