Buncrana Community Library reopens
30.06.20
DONEGAL County Council
Library Service is delighted to announce a phased
opening of their libraries as part of the
Government’s Roadmap to reopening society and
business. Libraries in Buncrana, Letterkenny,
Stranorlar and Bundoran have opened their doors to
allow library members to return items and to borrow
further items.
Access to other services such as internet access,
photocopying, WiFi, study and research facilities
will be introduced in the coming weeks.
Library patrons should be aware that their visit to
the library will be a little different than that of
pre-covid times. In order to keep everyone safe
there will be controlled access to buildings with a
queue management system in place, where visitors
must adhere to the current social distancing rules.
Members will be asked to keep their visit to a
maximum of 15 minutes. Children under 12 must be
accompanied by an adult. Libraries will be offering
hours for vulnerable members of the community from
2pm to 4pm and we ask that non vulnerable members of
the community visit outside these hours.
Sanitisation stations will be available throughout
the libraries and members of the public will be
asked to follow all safety protocols. It is
important to highlight that library members will
need to bring their library card with them to borrow
items through the self-service system. |

Buncrana Community Library |
The following libraries
are offering a ‘browse, borrow and return’ service:
• Buncrana Community Library
• Central Library Letterkenny
• Twin Towns Community Library Stranorlar
• Bundoran Community Library
Speaking about the reopening, Divisional Manager,
Eileen Burgess said "We are delighted to be
welcoming the public back into our libraries albeit
in a very different set up. Libraries are very much
the community hub in the towns they serve and
library staff know their members have missed them
over the last few months. The health and wellbeing
of our staff and patrons are of the utmost
importance, and we needed to ensure that adequate
safety protocols were in place before we could open
those doors. As part of the gradual re-opening of
libraries, library staff are working on providing
services in the other locations and when safety
protocols are in place and when resources allow, we
will open the doors in those libraries also."
Library members are reminded that are online
services, where you can borrow Ebooks and Emagazines,
are still available at
www.donegallibrary.ie . Library opening hours
are also available on the website. |
