The De Valera Public Library and Gallery
was opened in 1975. The building comprises the library proper and the
Gallery which is situated in what was once a Presbyterian Church. This
Church was built in 1856 at a cost of £600. The library proper stands
on a site once occupied by an old Church of Ireland Hall built in 1890.
This branch has a membership of over 5,500 readers. As well as an extensive
range of books for adults and children and a comprehensive collection
of CDs and DVDs, there is a wide selection of magazines and newspapers
available to the public on a daily basis. De Valera Public Library provides
story-time for children on a regular basis and hosts bookclubs for both
adults and children.
De Valera Public Library has a stock of over 32,400
books for adults, and 16,400 books for children. Music
(on CD) and film (on DVD) collections are also available for borrowing,
and there are thirteen free public access internet PCs.
