Fingal Libraries County Librarian, Betty Boardman remarked:

‘The people of Skerries and the wider community value and enjoy their local library, in particular the array of free services and resources. Increased hours at Skerries Library allows Fingal Libraries to offer the public even more of those essential and valued services, empowering the citizens and their communities.’

Fingal County Council Chief Executive AnnMarie Farrelly added:

‘Libraries are an important frontline service of the Council and play a vital role in the community. I am delighted to announce the increased opening hours at Skerries Library which will enhance accessibility, allowing library staff to engage further with the communities they serve.’

In June, Skerries Library moved to a temporary library at 56 Church Street, Skerries during the renovation and extension of the Skerries Carnegie Library on Strand Street, Skerries. Fingal County Council Libraries Department is proposing to provide a modern library facility which will include the refurbishment and full use of the existing two storey library building, with links to a new large 2 and 3 storey extension at its rear. The proposal, totalling 884sqm with a contract sum of €3.5 million, will accommodate multifunctional library spaces on two and three levels.
