It provides extended opening hours, allowing access to the library from 8am to 10pm daily including weekends and holidays. Library members can use the services of the library on a self-service basis outside normal opening hours. There are no staff present when My Open Library service is in operation. Staffed hours continue on the normal schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I decided to explore the H1 bus route and ended up in Baldoyle a location that I have never explored in detail even though I passed through the village a number of times<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldoyle is a coastal suburb of Dublin&#8217;s northside. It is located in the southeastern part of the jurisdiction of Fingal, Ireland, developed from a former fishing village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldoyle is also a civil parish in the barony of Coolock within the historic County Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldoyle is located northeast of the city, and borders Donaghmede, which was formed from its western part, Portmarnock, Sutton and Bayside. It can be accessed from the coast road from Dublin to Howth, which includes a cycle track, from Sutton Cross via Station Road, or from Donaghmede, or Portmarnock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldoyle is served by Dublin Bus and Irish Rail, the latter currently via the Sutton and Bayside stations on the Howth Branch of the DART, and by Clongriffin station on the Northern Branch, which is also the Dublin-Belfast main line. The railway line functions as the western boundary of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baldoyle is also served by Dublin Bus routes H1 (Baldoyle to City Centre) and H2 (Malahide to City Centre via Portmarnock)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Areas neighbouring Baldoyle are Sutton, Bayside, Portmarnock and Donaghmede, including Clongriffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-vivid-red-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-vivid-red-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-862\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-70-2 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-862 ml-slider ms-theme-default nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"PUBLIC LIBRARY IN BALDOYLE [AT THE JUNCTION OF THE MALL AND STRAND ROAD]\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_862\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_862\" class=\"flexslider\">\n            <ul aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"slides\">\n                <li style=\"display: block;
