Since the early 1970s the branch library in Dunmore was housed in a pre-fabricated building. This building was demolished in the year 2000, and since then the library service has been provided from a rented space.
A new library building is now to be provided in Dunmore. Proposals for the new Dunmore Library project received part 8 planning approval in the summer of 2005. Tender documents are now being prepared and construction of the library is due to begin this summer.
The architect for the project is Declan Molloy of Galway County Council.
The site located on High Street, on the approach to the Square, was previously occupied by the pre-fabricated building.
The architect, Declan Molloy, says that “the library will include an internal courtyard/garden which will provide an important sense of place, privacy, screening and will be a source of passive solar gain which will be utilised by the formal massing of the libraries various functions.”
