Regina Doherty TD today welcomes the announcement by Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government that 5.8million has been allocated for new Capital Programme for local Libraries in Ireland.
The aim of this programme is to provide a range of facilities for Local Library services including refurbished premises and mobile libraries. It is estimated that €4.8million will be spend on existing library upgrades in 2011 with a further €1million being distributed used to purchase new stock for libraries.
Navan library is set to benefit from this injection of funds and has been allocated a sum of €100,000.
Deputy Doherty states “Investment in local library services is imperative and an extremely welcome announcement. By investing locally in resources like these it benefits not only individuals but communities as a whole.”
“Library services in Meath include everything from language and computer courses to book and homework clubs. This wide range of services all members of the community; those who are seeking work and those who want a social outlet and academic support.”
“More and more people are frequenting and availing of local library services, over the past year 16million visits were recorded in local libraries around Ireland. Investing in reading material and support services offered can only but benefit individuals and tackle the issue of illiteracy in Ireland. It is very positive news.”
