JOB DESCRIPTION Background Offaly Co. Council Library Service currently headquartered in Tullamore manages and supports a network of eight public libraries strategically located across the county. The library service is constantly innovating and diversifying in a dynamic and changing environment, taking advantage of technological advancement in particular to deliver a wide and varied range of front line services to customers. In 2023, a new five-year strategy was introduced – ‘The Library is the Place: Information, Recreation, Inspiration’. The strategy continues to build on the technological and service innovations of recent years and focuses on improving access, use and visibility of public libraries as an essential community service. It proposes new actions on lifelong learning, cultural heritage, digital inclusion and makes a clear contribution to sustainable development and climate action, with actions designed to help Ireland achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Modern libraries reflect the different ways people use them and the successful implementation of “My Open Library” services in Banagher, Ferbane and Tullamore libraries allows self-service access to library members outside normal working hours. This ensures the local library service is much more accessible for commuters, workers and students and is attracting a broader range of customers.
