The main library in South Dublin has been closed for refurbishment for the last six months. It reopened yesterday so I went in for a look - they've done a fantastic job. It's bright, full of stock and lots of computers with free internet.

The graphic novels/comics section was a bit of a disappointment though - only one and a half shelves worth. They had got Maus though. I also got Old Boy - I'm not sure if the comic came before the film or not but it looks interesting.

I started reading Maus last night and am 120 pages in. It is superb - very moving, subtle and in parts funny. The four page comic strip about his mother's suicide is astonishing.
