Libraries

Donegal County Council provides a network of libraries as cultural spaces to support community life and individual self-development. The network includes the Central Library at its core, with 8 community libraries (Buncrana, Bundoran, Carndonagh, Gaoth Dobhair, Lifford, Milford, Na Rosa and Twin Towns) and 4 branch libraries (Ballyshannon, Donegal Town, Moville, and Raphoe) throughout the county. Taobh Tíre community outreach points and a Cross Border Mobile Library supplement this network. The vision for the public library service as outlined in Our Public Libraries 2022 is that “Public libraries are attractive and welcoming spaces where all members of the community can access knowledge, ideas and information, and where people can reflect, connect and learn.”

Donegal Library Service is dedicated to the promotion of lifelong learning, personal and professional enrichment, health and wellbeing, and a love of reading. By providing a modern library and information service the Council seeks to meet the need for general education, information and recreation, to support the quest for knowledge, and to meet the public’s  interest in reading and the arts. Donegal libraries provide lending, research, reference, Internet and Wi-Fi services as well as a wide range of online services including eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, eNewpapers, online courses, online research resources and lots more.
