Our Library, Our future Read here
Libraries have always played an important role in society and in responding to its needs. Now more than ever, our communities and society need the library to innovate, to work harder, and to use its position at the heart of community to understand, facilitate and respond to their needs.
Our Development Plan sets out a new approach to using the power of knowledge, community, inspiration and truth that our sector holds in abundance. This development plan identifies key challenges and insights which we uncovered during our thorough research and consultation work, and sets out the strategy and work programmes for South Dublin Libraries for the next five years.
