Almost €100,000 has been allocated towards the upgrade of services at two Tipperary libraries.
The Department of Rural and Community Development has granted funding of €46,840 to Roscrea Library and €47,590 for Carrick on Suir Library for the roll-out of My Open Library Services and Magic Tables Innovative Technology.
This will allow for self-service access to the libraries from 8am to 10pm, every day of the year.
Roscrea-based independent councillor Shane Lee says it’s a massive boost to the town. “This is absolutely brilliant news for the town. I made a statement on social media in relation to it and it got a huge response.”
He also thanked Tipperary County Council for their assistance in securing the funding.
