Archival Library & Reading Room
Since the Centre opened in 2000 we have been compiling a collection of books by the Kerry Writers for our Archival Library, many of which are now out of print. While we do not yet have a comprehensive collection visitors are welcome to read from these selected works in the bright and relaxing surroundings of our Reading Room.
