Galway County Library cooperates with Connemara West and the Furniture College in the provision of public library facilities in Letterfrack. The Furniture College in Letterfrack in partnership with the Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, provides degrees, diplomas and certificates in Furniture Design, Technology, and in Furniture Manufacture.
A major invesment by the Irish Government in the Furniture College in the 1990’s has led to over €6.5 million being spent on new campus buildings and the refurbishment of older buildings. As part of this project a new library of 3,000 square feet was provided.
Galway County Library and Connemara West worked together to develop this new library facility as a combined academic and public library. This new library serves both the students of the college and the public who live in the Letterfrack, Connemara area. Both the students and the local population have access to all the services and materials provided by the library.
The combined library houses the academic library books and public library books together. The intention is to provide a seamless service to all users.
Our Branch Librarian in Letterfrack is Noirín Hennessy.
