Libraries & Arts
Questions
In 2015 the motion attached was raised as a way of seeking out possible locations for teenagers to meet, and to be able to avail of community buildings where they could set up a youth service style group. Given the constraints on the existing youth services/cafe in Griffeen youth cafe, additional venues such as library's, which are for public use, were asked to be considered, official response stated that specific opening/closing hours were in place the status at the time did not make this request possible. The committee asks Chief Executive to report back on this same request, given the new plans for our council owned buildings/libraries are changing, as demographic changes, trends changes, population increases. Could the use of our libraries be used for teens after closing hours? and noting that a request recently passed to examine costs and plans involved in extending the Adamstown Community & Youth centre, as teenagers don't have indoor spaces to showcase their works, events and so on. Libraries could facilitate this need for teenagers while other plans are ongoing.
