MOTION NO.1

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

Cathaoirleach's Business

That this area committee requests that Ballycullen Green is added to the local stops for the Mobile Libraries.

REPORT:

SDCC Libraries Mobile Library Service operates across the County, serving a catchment population of around 10,000 people through the public stop timetable. In addition, the mobile library service manages the Library @ Home service, and visits to schools, creches, nursing homes, and other facilities.

Public stops across the County are constantly evaluated to establish viability with consideration given to factors such as the number of people using the stop and the proximity to the nearest library service.

Following a recent review of operations, Ballycullen Green has been identified as a suitable location for a public stop and has been included in the service timetable. The mobile library will visit the area on Tuesdays at 2.30pm, beginning on September 1st 2026.
