The Naas library building
The local studies and archive collection and service is to be located at the current library building in Naas.
The library is to move to Naas Town Hall as part of a €6m project which will include a cultural centre.
The collection was taken from the old county library building in Newbridge in 2020.
According to Kildare County Council this was done in “under emergency conditions due to the deterioration of the building and to avoid damage to the collection” (which is now located in rented accommodation in Kildare town).
A Naas Municipal District meeting was told that the current location “in a business park is not a suitable location for the public to visit and is not ideal storage for the precious collection.”
The move into the library building will be done on an interim basis, for the next few years, until a new capital project is completed. When it transfers to Naas access will be provided to the public and tourists and its location will facilitate the hosting or programmed events, talks and exhibitions for the public and tourists.
The local studies team will also be able to facilitate school visits for primary and secondary schools throughout the school year.
