This year marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of a Mobile Library service in County Roscommon, one of the earliest such services in the country. The County Library has sought to commemorate this important community service during the year, including a 15-minute piece on RTÉ’s Nationwide in May 2025. We would like to produce an 8-page commemorative booklet for the occasion, to be made available free to the public through branch libraries throughout the county, from October 2025. The brochure will not only highlight the Mobile Library’s historic role but reflect on its ongoing role in community engagement and creative activity, and its plans for the future.
