Illustrated scene of a library with three students studying. One student sits at a table writing in a notebook, another works on a laptop, and a third reaches for a book on a shelf. Additional books and study lamps are on the tables. At the top, text reads “Past exam papers can be accessed via the MTU Library website.” The MTU logo appears in the upper right corner. At the bottom, there are QR codes labeled “MTU Cork” and “MTU Kerry.”

No ghosts, just guidance.

As autumn nights draw in, the library remains a bright, quiet space for study and reflection.

Whether you’re preparing assignments or revising for exams, we’re open and here to help.

Have a peaceful and productive Halloween weekend.
A Halloween-themed poster set in a spooky library. The shelves are lined with books, and eerie, leafless tree branches creep into the scene. Glowing jack-o'-lanterns sit on the floor, casting an orange light. A single empty armchair faces the viewer under a dim, golden sky. A bat flies overhead, and a shadowy figure can be seen in the background. At the top, bold dripping text reads “Happy Halloween,” followed by “From all of us at MTU Libraries.” A black label on the corner displays the date “31st Oct 2025.”
