Library Buildings.ie

On June 05 2008, in Dundalk library, the Chairman of An Chomhairle Leabharlanna, Cllr. Mark Dearey, launched an on-line database of public library buildings, Librarybuildings.ie.  The database provides comprehensive and readily accessible information on public library buildings in Ireland.

The project is managed by An Chomhairle Leabharlanna with the assistance of a small advisory committee.

The award-winning digital media company, XCommunications, was commissioned to work on the design and implementation of the database and web application.

Phase 1 of the project focussed on recent grant-aided library developments.  The database was expanded to include libraries in heritage buildings.
