Happy Halloween! We were delighted to welcome Professor Jarlath Killeen from Trinity College Dublin on Wednesday last to talk to us about Dracula. This was a fascinating presentation which offered unique perspectives on Bram Stoker's seminal work. The lecture was presented as part of our "Stop Scrolling, Start Reading" programe.

In April 2026 The National Archives of Ireland released the records of the 1926 Census. Here in SDCC Libraries we have a host of additional resources to support family history research. Historian Liz Gillis dropped into the County Library, Tallaght, to explore what the records reveal about life in Rathfarnham 100 years ago.

This project is funded and supported by the Irish government’s Department of Culture, Communications and Sport 2026 Commemorative Programme.
