Record Numbers Visit Sligo Library

A New Year Resolution?

Sligo Library Service welcomed a record number of customers this week with 1068 people visiting Sligo Central Library in Stephen Street on Tuesday 6th January, with 1,328 books being issued.  The post - Christmas period is traditionally a very busy period for the Library Service, and these figures reflect the growing popularity of the service in our community.

Tuesday’s record attendance in Sligo Central Library was made up of a wide range of readers and book categories:

County Librarian Donal Tinney commented that we are very pleased with the continued support of our customers as witnessed on Tuesday last. The popularity of the Central Library service within Sligo is to be seen on a weekly basis with an average of 2,900 visits per week. These visitor figures continue to maintain the Central Library service as being one of the busiest cultural venues in the County. We welcome new members throughout the year but we like to think that Library membership might be considered among the many new year resolutions, in particular, for families as it is a great family outing.
