February is Library Sign up Month
February is Sign Up month across Kilkenny County Council Library Service, and EVERYONE is encouraged to join or re-join the library –FREE of charge!
Libraries are no longer just places to borrow books or study – they are also creative and engaging community centres where people can gather, make friends, relax, join a workshop and enjoy socialising with their local community.
Kilkenny Library Service is seen over 26% increase in membership in 2019 which reflects a very popular and trusted service.
“Signing up for a library card opens a world of possibilities” comments County Librarian, Josephine Coyne, “all of our libraries around the county offer resources and services to help people of all ages pursue their passions”
The local public library has also become a key technology hub in the community as people use the free internet and wifi service, and access a range of services online such as training courses, language courses, eBooks and eMagazines.
Libraries also run bookclubs, knitting groups, card making, and many other workshops and classes throughout the year.
Staff are always available to show people around, explain the various services and show people how to use our online services. We welcome group and class visits/tours by pre-booking with your local branch.
To join for free, just call into your local library, bring photo ID and proof of address. You can also apply online and go in person to your selected branch to pick up your card. To find out more, visit your nearest branch, or click join on our homepage.
