Trinity College Dublin is to re-name the Berkeley Library.

George Berkeley was a philosopher who worked at Trinity in the 1700s - he also bought slaves to work on his estate in the USA.

The University says his name doesn't fit its core values of human dignity, freedom, inclusivity, and equality.

Mr. Berkeley's philosophical works will still be taught, but a process to choose a new name for the library will begin soon.
