Planning permission has been granted for a new cultural quarter at Dublin's Parnell Square.
The project will cost €110m, and will include a conference centre and a public plaza.
It is expected Dublin City Council will cover close to half the cost.
The remainder will be paid for through donations.
The City Library will move into the row, and take up residence in eight Georgian houses.
They will be refurbished and extended, and will take up a large portion of the project budget.
It will leave its current home in the nearby Ilac Centre.

Dublin Civic Trust described it as "the most important development in decades for the north side of the city".
It said it is "an international calibre project that respects Dublin's grain and rhythm, providing an outstanding social facility".
Richard Guiney from the business group Dublin Town thinks it's a great way to celebrate the city.
"It gives us a real opportunity in a beautiful space to celebrate the fact that Dublin is a literary city.
Internationally we are seen as a literary city, it's something we do celebrate but perhaps not as much as we should", he said.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin has welcomed the Parnell Square development.
Niall Ring said it will tie in nicely with the redevelopment of Moore Street and Upper O'Connell Street.
Last week plans to develop two new civic squares, apartments, a hotel and metro station in the area were unveiled.
