Opening hours in libraries are being reviewed by Donegal County Council in order to work within available resources. This requires considered decisions and flexibility and all staff are committed to continuing to provide the best possible service. Every effort is being made to keep changes to a minimum. However, to maintain services in some areas, others need to be curtailed. Decisions on changes are made taking current and potential level of use, proximity of other service points, availability of staff, and other considerations into account. The website will be updated and press releases issued as changes occur.
Changes have been made to Ramelton Library opening hours as follows:
Monday Library Closed
Tuesday 10.30-12.30/1.30-5.30
Wednesday Library Closed
Thursday Library Closed
Friday 10.30-12.30/1.30-5.30
Saturday Library Closed
Donegal County Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and hopes all current and new library users can visit during the revised opening hours, when extensive library services and a warm welcome will continue to be provided.
A number of services are available via the www.donegallibrary.ie website, including the facility to login, search the Donegal catalogue and reserve items for collection at any one of 29 locations across the county. Hundreds of reference works, including Encyclopedia Britannica, are also available to members through the website. The catalogues for all public libraries in the country can be accessed at www.borrowbooks.ie. We would encourage everyone to avail of these online resources, which are provided completely free of charge to library members. There is no charge to join the library, no charge for borrowing reading materials, and no charge to read newspapers and magazines in the library. Internet access is provided for a small charge. Free events are provided throughout the year, with a particular focus on events for children during Wainfest, for older people during Bealtaine, on local history/heritage during Heritage Week, and so on. Libraries are warm, neutral, public spaces, available to all.
