MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 24, 2023

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the potential new opening hours for libraries in the Lucan Palmerstown North Clondalkin Libraries

REPLY:

SDCC awaits approval from Department of Housing, Planning & Local Government for the recruitment of additional resources to provide additional opening hours (Fridays and Saturdays) at Palmerstown.

Tender documents for My Open Library are being drafted with the current estimate for publication being late Q1/early April. The My Open Library system provides for additional opening hours outside of staffed hours, including Friday and Saturday evenings as well as Sundays and bank holiday weekends. All branches of South Dublin Libraries will be considered for this service but a pilot location has not yet been selected.
