MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask what plans the Library service has to do something innovative in the Lucan Electoral Area in relation to its mobile library service, in particular in relation to the use of its mobile library service in the vicinity of Lucan Village.

REPORT:

In addition to the programme of public stops, the mobile library service will continue to provide services by arrangement to schools, crèches, afterschool projects and homework clubs as well as to day care centres and nursing homes. The Library @ Home service will also continue in 2023, bringing library services to the door for those who cannot access services elsewhere. These services can be arranged by emailing mobiles@sdublincoco.ie. 

The mobile library vehicles will continue to be used to promote the library service in SDCC parks and at live events over the summer months. The feasibility of the mobile libraries being part of St. Patrick's Day parades and festivals throughout the county is currently being investigated.

Further details will be included as they become available under the Mobile Libraries section of the regular Library News & Events report throughout the year.
