De Valera Public Library

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 Library provides story-time for children on a regular basis and hosts book clubs for both adults and children.
