Library Ireland Week - Last day... or just the beginning?

So here we are, this is the last day of Library Ireland Week 2013, but there's one thing that never finishes: the fact that the resources available from libraries and the services they offer will constantly improve to serve the community they are part of!

So if there is one thing you should take away from the week, it is that
libraries are yours!

So make the most of them! - be it DBS Library, your local library, your office resource centre, etc.

Wishing you a happy Library experience and use!
 Yours DBS Library (and The Cookie Monster)
