QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO to present an update on the schedule being followed in respect of the new Castletymon Library and in reporting will he also confirm that suitable Library services continue to be provided to the local community and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

“The construction of Castletymon Library continues, with brickwork completed to lintel level. The floor slab work is also completed. There is a slight delay with the windows, which are due on-site mid-January. It is expected that handover of the building will happen in quarter two, with a three-month fit-out of furniture and fittings following the handover.

The mobile library service continues to provide services to the public every Thursday from 2pm – 4 pm outside St. Aengus Community Centre and this service is going well. In addition, the mobile calls to Avonbeg Road, Bolbrook on Thursdays from 4.10pm- 5.00pm; Keadeen Avenue, Greenhills on Wednesdays from 6.00pm – 6.25pm; and Kilnamanagh, outside the school, on Wednesdays from 6.30pm- 7.00pm.

Events and activities continue in our branch libraries including ‘Family Time at Your Library’ for the month of December, which the residents of the area are invited to attend.

The public continue to request books and other library items from other branch libraries, which are distributed through the mobile library service”.
