Our Mission Statement
Ráiteas Bunchuspóra Leabharlanna Thiobraid Árann i leith na Gaeilge
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.
The County Tipperary Joint Libraries Committee is the authority responsible for providing and promoting an active public library service for the people of County Tipperary.
The Committee came into being on the first day of January, 1927 taking over from the Co. Tipperary Carnegie Libraries Committee which had operated a rural library service in Tipperary for a number of years previously. The newly formed County Councils of North and South Tipperary had decided to form what was then, and indeed still is, a unique body to administer the library service on their behalf. The current Committee is made up of 21 members appointed by both County Councils.
From modest beginnings, the Joint Libraries Committee has gradually developed and expanded the library service in Tipperary and now operates a network of thirteen branches throughout the county. In addition, the Committee operates a schools library system which now extends to over 150 schools.
This website is part of our computerisaton strategy to implement a programme which will allow us to fully participate in the delivery of the Information Society; we hope it will also help in our mission to provide equal opportunity access to a high quality library and information service to all people in Co. Tipperary.
Here you will find out all you need to know about your local library service as well as getting access to our interactive services. We hope you come back and visit us often!
