National Public Libraries Open Day promotes the role of public libraries in Irish society and raises awareness of the broad range of services they provide. The Day is taking place Saturday, 28th September, with 300+ libraries across Ireland marking it through activities, events and celebrations.
To coincide with the Day, the Take a Closer Look campaign is encouraging people to take a closer look at the wide-ranging services open to them through their libraries, with the vast majority freely available.
Library services are accessible, with many now available online. Over 12 million books – including the latest best sellers, are available to borrow through our public libraries. And an array of services beyond the borrowing of books are part of your library membership benefits, including audiobooks, eBooks, eMagazines, computers and laptops, free WiFi, study spaces, talks, courses, workshops, activities, exhibitions, children-focussed activities and events, sensory services and much more.
In Co. Carlow the doors of our branches in Muinebheag, Borris and Carlow Town will be wide open, with the following events taking place:
Autumn Themed Craft Workshops for Kids of All Ages at Carlow Library 10.15am & 11.30am
Interactive Storytime with Wibbly Wobbly Wendy at Carlow Library 10.30am
Our opening hours tomorrow are as follows:
