Share your unwanted books and discover new titles with our DCU Library Book Swap carousels.
You’ll find the stands just outside the entry gates into O’Reilly Library on our Glasnevin campus, Cregan Library on the St Patrick's campus and Woodlock Hall Library on the All Hallows campus in Drumcondra.
You don't need a library card to access the stands, which means that they're available to our staff, students and to our local community. Find our libraries easily using our campus maps.
You're welcome to take a book even if you don't have a book to swap. There's something for everyone from crime thrillers to literary fiction to history and biography titles.
If you have books you no longer need this is the perfect opportunity to de-clutter your collection.
We’re looking for books that are:
- in good condition
- adult fiction titles
- adult non-fiction titles with wide appeal
We are not currently accepting the following books:
- children's books
- academic textbooks
- foreign language titles
- large coffee table books
If you have multiple books to donate please contact eilis.oneill@dcu.ie before dropping them in. Please contact eilis or libraryevents@dcu.ie if you have any questions about the book swap scheme.
