Since the beginning of lockdown, people have been exploring the area around them a lot more and discovering wonderful things they never noticed right on their doorstep.

One of the lovely surprises that has popped up over the last few months is this cute little library on Stephen's Street in the city.

The idea started in March with a little yellow box of books that locals could share and has now evolved to a permanent fixture.

The library was set up back in May by St Stephen's Sustainable Food Lab as a way to encourage the community to share books during lockdown.

Since then, the library has grown in size and it now even has a door to protect it from the elements, which is needed with the Irish weather.

You can take a book if you like with the only rule being that you must leave another in return.

Twitter user Eoghan shared pictures online and they were quickly met with positive messages online with other social media users saying what a good idea it was.

People were blown away by the fantastic yet simple idea and suggested that other towns and cities in Ireland should follow suit.
