New stock in Library

Kilcullen’s Library has just taken delivery of hundreds of new books, a bright spot in these otherwise recessionary times.



“There’s a saying that Libraries are used more during recessions, and I’ve certainly noticed that since about last November we’re getting more adults,” says Librarian Julie O’Donoghue.

She’s hoping also that more young adults will start using the facility this year, especially as a place for study. The Library, in the old Boys School building, was given a significant refurbishment recently, which followed the provision of an extension with storage space and toilets.

The systems have recently been computerised, which makes it much easier both to keep track of books and also to get ones particularly in demand from other parts of the County network.
