Eyrecourt Library

The Public Library in Eyrecourt is housed former the St. John the Baptist School House and the building is shared with the Eyrecourt Select Vestry.

Under the direction of the Librarian, Ms Laura Flynn, the library gives a real service – it is a space which is alive, anyone can come in, and find the world, both through the book stock and the internet, and you may photocopy anything and take it home with you.

The Library is available for exhibitions and lectures.

Each year the library runs a Children's Book Week. Last year (October 2005) the programme included a visit by the storyteller Danielle Allison who gave an excellent performance and was very popular with the children.

The library host regular visits by the teachers and classes of Eyrecourt National School.

The library houses a collection of local history material relating to the Eyrecourt and Clonfert area.

The library is open every Friday and Saturday between 11.00am and 1.00pm, and every Tuesday and Thursday between 2.00pm and 4.00pm. The library is open late each Wednesday from 6.00pm to 6.00pm.
