Latest Service Updates

CUSTOMER NOTICE:

UPDATES RELATING TO LIBRARIES INCLUDING TEMPORARY AND EXCEPTIONAL CLOSURE DATES:

• Ballycastle Library will be closed from 5:00pm - 5:30pm on Thursday 29 October. Alternative Libraries include Ballymena Central. 
  
  

• Enniskillen Library:
  
  The former Enniskillen library facility was closed to enable the redevelopment project to commence, in line with contractual obligations. At the time Libraries NI had anticipated that negotiations for the lease of temporary premises would have concluded shortly afterwards. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control have impacted on these plans and lease negotiations are ongoing. We would reassure library customers that securing a temporary library facility in Enniskillen is a priority for us and we are working as quickly as possible to put this in place.

  In this interim period, we have arranged the following services in Enniskillen.
  
  

  From Thursday 5 November a book borrowing and activity space in Fermanagh House will be available every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A selection of books and a range of programming for all age groups will be available, including Knit and Natter, Tea and Newspapers, Rhythm and Rhyme and Lego Club. A small study space will be available afterschool and on Saturday. The opening times in Fermanagh House will be as follows:

  o Thursday 10:00am to 4:00pm

  o Friday 10:00am to 7:30pm

  o Saturday 10:00am to 6:00pm.
