In images posted online, several teenagers appear to have climbed up the stairs on to glass panels outside the library building. Outside the premises at the front, there was also a large gathering of young people.
"Students were frightened and shocked, and librarians were unable to take control of the situation," the witness revealed.
They added: "Ambulances were present and Gardaí later, I have been told."
A spokesperson for Fingal County Council, which runs Blanchardstown Library, confirmed that there was a "disturbance" at the library on the evening in question.
The spokesperson revealed: "There was a disturbance in Blanchardstown Library on Monday 30th January at 6.50pm among a group of teenagers who were studying at the Library. Staff at the Library calmed the situation and called shopping centre security and An Garda Síochána.
"The Library is open today as normal."
The Irish Mirror has contacted An Garda Siochana for comment.
