IPA Library Service


NOTICE REGARDING CURRENT LIBRARY SERVICES: The IPA Library building is now open to students who wish to study in the Library reading rooms. The seating capacity of the readings rooms is currently reduced due to social distancing guidelines.
Please complete the ONLINE SEAT BOOKING FORM in advance of coming to the IPA. If a student has not completed the book form they will not be admitted to the Library.
Library staff are working both onsite in the Library and remotely to answer any queries and provide assistance in accessing material for all students who cannot visit the library in person.
Students may contact the Library via email at library@ipa.ie or click on the "ASK a Librarian" button on the bottom right of this page to chat with a member of the team.
