Newest county Kilkenny library building a ‘Gamechanger’ for people of the area

The doors open today on Thomastown Library’s new state-of-the-art building.

The modern facility which cost close to €5million will offer not just books but also study spaces, digital services and areas for community and cultural events.

The library will serve as a safe, inclusive hub for people of all ages, with hopes it will mirror the success of Kilkenny’s Mayfair Library and become a central meeting place for Thomastown and the surrounding areas.
