COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

That South Dublin Libraries will revisit the little library idea, that was agreed as part of the Have Your Say initiative, to provide a little library in or near Lucan village that is outdoors and accessible to the general public, such as one recently provided in Clonakilty in an old telephone box, recently.

REPORT:

South Dublin Libraries (SDL) spent €3000 on stock for this initiative.  It was difficult to find a suitable venue and to allocate responsibility for the management of any site. Therefore, the stock was shared with local community groups. 

SDL would consider providing stock for a similar initiative if a site could be found and someone was able to take responsibility for its management.
