Create Reading Room now open for bookings

We are delighted to announce that our newly launched Reading Room space is now available to book, for those who wish to use the space and consult materials Create holds in our Reading Room and archive.

The Create Reading Room offers access to a wealth of books, periodicals and pamphlets related to the development of social art practice in Ireland and beyond. Comprising a growing collection of 500+ published titles, the Reading Room is a designated space for research in a newly refurbished state of the art facility. The room is set up to facilitate browsing with access to an internal catalogue available on request.

All materials are made available for reference-only consultation and titles may not be borrowed. We are delighted to offer an enhanced Reading Room experience with both shared and private work spaces. Four single-person desk spaces are available, as well as a table with capacity for eight people. Each desk is equipped with a socket and lamp. Wifi is available as well as a large screen and camera for hybrid meetings.
