Building for Books

"This short film was sponsored by Trinity College, Dublin, and shows how they have expanded their libraries into an invaluable resource for research and study."

Synopsis

Though commissioned by Trinity College Dublin as a fundraiser for the Berkeley Library and with extensive discussion of the history, architecture and collections of the Old Library, this film also provides a rare insight into student life in Dublin in the 1950s – at work and at play – and lauds the arrival of women and students from many lands.
