Library in a Co Kildare town set for €4million relocation this month

The temporary  closure of a Co Kildare library takes places today in preparation for a new €4million facility.

Athy Library  is relocating to the Dominican Priory, and is expected to re-open on  February 26th.

Work on the new library has been ongoing since May.

Kildare County Council purchased the church and the adjoining lands from the Dominican Order

The site also now houses a Family Hub, operated by the Peter McVerry Trust.
