QUESTION: Councillor S. Holland

"To ask the Chief Executive given the review taking place on services at Whitechurch library, please outline what measures are in place to support the work of the Web Project & give some certainty as to the future for the project & for the library services for the wider public?"

REPLY:

"Whilst the review of service at Whitechurch Library is ongoing, please note there is no intention to compromise the services provided by the WEB project from the Library building. The project will continue to work from the Whitechurch Library and the Community Department are involved in the review.

Groups continue to meet and a very busy schedule is run by the WEB project.

Monday to Friday activities include computer classes for people with disabilities, literacy classes, knitting circle (with 15 members), art classes, mindfulness and the Social History group, with 15 core members, Arts and Crafts, and Chair Yoga. Holistic treatments are also continuing as usual by appointment.

Library service continues for the wider public with visits to the area from the Mobile Library. This service is available from Wednesday 5^th October at Whitechurch Green 2.30pm – 3-30pm and Palmer Park 3.40pm – 4.45pm.

The Mobile Library also visited the local school - Scoil Mhuire NS - last month and will continue to do so for the rest of the school year."
