Libraries NI Latest Service Updates
Libraries NI’s Summer Opening Hours across the network of libraries will take effect from Monday 30 June until Saturday 30 August 2025. Many customers use the library differently over the summer period and therefore the opening hours have been adjusted accordingly. Libraries will be open to 6:00pm instead of 8:00pm during this period, late-night opening after 6:00pm will recommence from Monday 1 September.
Out of Hours libraries will continue to operate as normal during this period with the following exceptions:
- Banbridge Library Out of Hours service will operate from 6:00pm – 10:00pm on a Tuesday
- Omagh Library Out of Hours service will operate from 6:00pm – 10:00pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
