New opening hours for selected branches!

In an effort to improve our services to the public, Sligo Libraries intend to change the opening hours of the Local Studies Library (now located on Stephen Street) and Enniscrone Branch Library.
From July 2nd 2012 it is envisaged that Local Studies will mirror the opening hours of Central Library - remaining open on Tuesday evenings and Saturdays. Enniscrone will also increase its opening hours on Wednesdays by 2 hours. Both services will close on Mondays dovetailing with the other branch libraries throughout the County. These changes should benefit the users of both specific services by utilising staff to its maximum effect.

Art of Sound Exhibition

On loan from the Contemporary Music Centre, The Art of Sound Exhibition: A Glimpse into the creativity of Irish Composers
will be on display in Ballymote Community Library, Teeling Street, Ballymote, for the month of May 2012.

This is a photographic multi-media exhibition offering insight into the creative process of our contemporary composers.
With photography by Eugene Langan and audio voice-over by Éamonn Lawlor the exhibition “is aimed at the layperson with no specialist knowledge of contemporary music or music notation.”
