Thomas William Lyster (1855–1922) was director of the National Library of Ireland in Dublin between 1895 and his retirement in 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Thomas Lyster ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Directors of the Library )〕 Lyster joined the library in 1878 and was appointed as its director in 1895. He was also a scholar who translated Düntzer’s ''Life of Goethe'' in 1883 and edited a poetry schoolbook, the ''Intermediate School Anthology''.〔 Although a member of the Church of Ireland, he was used by James Joyce as the model for a "quaker librarian" in his novel ''Ulysses''. An whimsical account of him is given in Oliver St John Gogarty's ''As I was Going down Sackville Street'' when Gogarty visits the national library.〔Gogarty, O. St J. (1954) ''As I was Going down Sackville Street''. Harmondsworth: Penguin; ch. 1〕 In this book Lyster is very solicitous of the various needs of the readers in the library. == Works == * 1883: Heinrich Düntzer’s ''Life of Goethe''.
