Cllr. Charlie O’Connor recently enquired into the operation of South Dublin Library service in the current situation. The reply received from the County Librarian contained the following details “I refer to representation received on 22/10/2020 in relation to Libraries.Under the Government’s ‘Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021 Plan for Living with COVID-19’,
Libraries are closed under level 5 and can only offer an online programme of events and activities as well as a full suite of online e-Resources. However, Library staff are available to answer queries, take phone calls and answer emails from customers between 9.30am- 5.00pm Monday-Friday in their branch library. We are also providing a Home Delivery Service to customers who are at home and in need of this service. Customers can phone 01-4597834 to avail of this service. We hope to reopen our libraries as soon as possible in line with Government recommendations.”
