WHAT
IS THE LIBRARY SERVICE?
THE MISSION STATEMENT OF THE SOUTH EASTERN EDUCATION AND LIBRARY BOARD
IS TO:
"raise the standards of learning and achievement for the people of the
area by provision of high quality education, library and youth services"
In practical terms libraries offer a place to explore learning, information
and culture. This can include anything from finding the address of a local
organisation, through pursuing a distance learning course, to working
your way through the Booker Prize shortlist. Whatever your preference
you'll find your library a pleasant place to visit with courteous, efficient
and friendly staff.
WHO IS IT FOR?
- anyone who lives, works, studies in, or is visiting Northern Ireland
may become a member. There are special facilities for children, elderly
people and people with disabilities.
- with a single membership card you can use any public library in Northern
Ireland.
WHERE IS
IT?
- in 26 local
libraries right across the Board area, from Newtownbreda on the outskirts
of Belfast to Portaferry at the tip of the Ards peninsula
- at over 550
stops on our mobile library routes
- in over 230
residential homes and sheltered dwellings
- in your own
home if you are disabled.
