What is Leabharlann?
Loreto Abbey Dalkey has access to Leabharlann, an online eBook library which will let you check out books around the clock. Since it’s still a library, there’s a set limit of copies and a time limit (either 1 or 2 weeks) on how long you can check out a book. If an ebook you want is already checked out, you can request to get it after it’s been checked back in. Leabharlann also includes audiobooks and video.
