Your online library system is changing – for the better!

From March 29th, Monaghan along with libraries all over the country, will introduce a new online library system with improved functionality to help us provide a better service to library members.

The new system will have many improved features.

• Logging into your library account, and managing your reserves, reading lists and contact information will be much easier.
• The catalogue will be easier to use and will have images and recommendations as well as themed bookshelves and links to useful resources.
• You will be able to find, borrow and reserve eBooks and eAudiobooks as well as physical books in one searchable catalogue.
• You will be able to renew your library membership online for the first time.
• Our new system will also look and work great on mobile phones and tablets.

Online accounts temporarily unavailable March 21^st – 28^th

Unfortunately, there will be some service disruption in the lead up to the launch of the new system.

From March 21^st – 28^th, your online account will be temporarily unavailable and you will not be able to reserve items online.

During this time, you will still be able to browse and borrow in your library and other library services, including eServices such as Borrowbox, Libby and PressReader will not be affected.

All loans will be extended so you don’t need to worry about renewing items while your account is unavailable.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work to deliver the new and improved online experience.

Please keep an eye on our website and social media channels for further updates.

Monaghan County Council invites applications for a Storyteller in Residence, under the Creative Ireland Monaghan programme.  The residency runs for the period May 2022 to May 2023  and will be managed by Monaghan County Council Library Service.

The overall aim of the residency is to establish a ‘Drumlin Yarnspinners Club’ and empower members with the confidence and skills to keep the Club running after the residency ceases. 

The residency is open to experienced Storytellers in any genre who are skilled in group facilitation.
