SUMMARY:National Public Libraries Open Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sligo County Libraries will join libraries across Ireland on Saturday\, 27 September to celebrate National Public Libraries Open Day 2025. \nThe nationwide campaign invites the public to “Take a Closer Look” at the modern\, inclusive\, and vibrant services libraries offer today. It highlights the evolving role of libraries in Irish society as places of entertainment\, learning\, connection\, creativity\, and community support. \nThis year’s campaign highlights that library membership is free and open to all\, while raising awareness of the wide range of services available. In addition to a wide range of books\, today’s libraries offer free access to eBooks\, eAudiobooks\, eNewspapers\, eMagazines\, and eLearning Courses\, alongside programmes of events for all ages\, access to printing services\, creative and study spaces. Public libraries are welcoming\, accessible\, inclusive community spaces that offer services and spaces to children and adults who are neurodiverse\, while fostering wellbeing\, life-long learning\, and connection for everyone. \nTo mark National Public Libraries Open Day 2025\, Sligo County Libraries encourage you to visit and join up to your local library on Saturday 27th September. \nStuart Hamilton\, Head of Libraries Development at the Local Government Management Agency said: “Public libraries have evolved into vibrant community hubs that support learning\, creativity\, wellbeing\, and connection. Beyond books\, they offer access to IT services\, digital tools\, creative spaces\, and inclusive programmes such as Right to Read\, Summer Stars\, Family Time at the Library\, Literacy for All\, Skills for Life\, and digital lending services. \n“National Public Libraries Open Day is a chance to explore everything your local library has to offer. Whether you’re looking to learn something new\, connect with others\, or simply discover what’s available\, libraries are welcoming spaces full of opportunity.” \nEveryone is encouraged to join the national conversation using the hashtags #LibrariesOpenDay and #TakeACloserLook. \nFor more information\, visit www.librariesireland.ie/national-public-libraries-open-day \n  \n\nSligo County Libraries: National Public Libraries Open Day Events\nSLIGO CENTRAL LIBRARY\nJoin us in Sligo Central Library for BOARDGAME BONANZA with Wayne O’Connor! \nSaturday 27th September from 11.30am – 12.30pm • For ages 8+ • Booking required: 071 9111675 or sligolib@sligococo.ie \nBALLYMOTE COMMUNITY LIBRARY\nCelebrate National Public Libraries Open Day 2025 with The ImagiNation!
