Welcome
Tipperary Libraries operate a network of thirteen public library branches throughout the county, offering a friendly community service which educates, entertains and helps to improve the lives of all members of the local community.
Our Mission: "To ensure that everyone has equal opportunity access to a high quality Library and Information Service which is responsive to the changing needs of our communities and is fully supportive of the process of life-long learning".
Tipperary Libraries provide a wide range of services including adult lending, children's and young adult libraries, reference and local studies collections, newspapers and magazines, large print, talking books and adult literacy material. Other services include study facilities, exhibition space, photocopying facilities, interlibrary loans, optical scanning facilities and clubs and events. Assistive Reading Technology is also available in seven of our public libraries across County Tipperary.
Public internet access (broadband) is available in all our libraries and 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 and check their library account online.
As well as our branch network, Tipperary Libraries also operate a schools library system which now extends to over 150 schools.
