Public Libraries in Ireland have created one 

joint library catalogue, using a shared computer system.

Cavan County Council's Library Service can now provide a better service to library users.

What does it mean for you?

• You have a much wider range of books, audio books and DVDs to choose from.

• You can borrow 12 items for 3 weeks.

• It is easier to search and request items, using the new national shared library catalogue.

• You can reserve and renew items 24/7 using our online service.

• There is a reduction in fines. You are charged a fine of five cent (€0.05) per day for any item not returned or renewed on time. You can renew your items online at www.cavanlibrary.ie, by telephone or in person at a branch.

• You can opt to receive an email reminder  3 days before your items are due back.  Please register your email address with your local library.

• If you wish to receive overdue notices by SMS text message you will have to log into your own library account online to ‘opt in’ to this service.

• You do not need a new library card but we ask you to please bring your card each time you visit. This will help you get the most out of our new system.
