[Éilís Ní Dhuibhne](https://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-nr88-8209?ref=lorcandempsey.net), librarian and writer, has a review of [*The Library at Night*](https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/183257292?tab=details&ref=lorcandempsey.net) by [Alberto Manguel](https://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n80-13377?ref=lorcandempsey.net) in today’s *[Irish Times](https://www.irishtimes.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)*.

> Mirroring what an eclectic, beautiful library is like, this volume assembles its reflections in a systematic way, under 15 uniform titles, ranked up like handsome spines, all in a row: The Library as Myth, The Library as Imagination, The Library as Identity, etc. Topics range from an account of the great library at Alexandria (The Library as Myth) to a discussion of the Google book project (The Library as Space), from a consideration of catalogues (The Library as Order) to history of book burnings (The Library as Shadow). \[[Booking essential – The Irish Times – Sat, Jul 05, 2008](https://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2008/0705/1215159142847.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
