The Letterkenny Library and Arts Centre is located on St. Oliver Plunkett Road in the County Donegal town.

As one enters the building, a door on the left reveals a set of stairs leading down to the arts centre in the basement.

On the ground floor a vast array of adult books may be found as well as a children's section where silence is not so strictly enforced.

Upstairs is a study area regularly used by students and other townspeople who wish to avail of its comfortable tables and chairs, relaxed airy quiet atmosphere, and thousands of reference books, maps, dictionaries and encyclopedias.

This is also where the local archives are held, as well as a special area designated for adults only, who may wish to mull over the daily newspaper or a specialist magazine: Hot Press or TIME are among those on offer.
