Library Services

Seirbhísí Leabharlainne

Tipperary Libraries' services include adult lending, children's and young adult libraries, reference and local studies collections, newspapers and magazines, large print, talking books and adult literacy material. Non-book services include study facilities, exhibition space, photocopying facilities, inter library loans, optical scanning facilities and clubs and events.

Everyone is welcome to become a member of Tipperary Libraries. Simply call into your local branch Library with proof of address (usually in the form of a utility bill), fill in a registration form, pay the fee and pick four items (books or audio material) of your choice. Membership of the Tipperary Libraries Branch Network costs €7.00 per year for adults, €1.50 for senior citizens and CHILDREN ARE FREE! Members may borrow four items for a three week period.

Ten branches are now automated, using the Horizon Library Management System (Nenagh, Cashel, Thurles, Clonmel, Templemore, Tipperary, Roscrea, Carrick-On-Suir, Cahir, Killenaule). In these branches members will be issued with a barcoded Library Card. Members must use this card each time they borrow books. Our catalogue is available online so that members of the public can search for books from our countywide catalogue. Members of the automated branches can also request books, renew books and check their library account online.

All members may request books from any library in the Tipperary Libraries branch network through the staff at their local library and members (14 years and over; under 14's must have written consent from their parents or guardians) of automated branches  can request books through Tipperary Libraries online catalogue using their borrower card barcode and Pin No. There is a 50c charge for request items on collection from the library. Try borrowbooks.ie to search across the Irish public libraries' online catalogues to locate and request an item which is not held in Tipperary County Library.  An Inter Library Loan service is also available at a charge of €5 per item. Please contact your local branch library for more details.

Seven of our branches have Assistive Software . This equipment is a great resource for members who are visually impaired, blind, have a learning difficulties or simply have a problem reading the size of the text on a PC screen. For more details click here.

Each branch library has internet access available to the public. A 50 minute session costs just €2.00 for adults and €1.00 for children [some regulations apply]. We are introducing Broadband access in all our branches as soon as it becomes available.

As well as the thirteen branches, the Committee operates a schools library system which now extends to over 150 schools.
