Launching the new online service for Tipperary readers, Cllr Marie Murphy, Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer this new and improved online library system to library members. The Library Service aims to provide the very best services it can, both in branches and online. The new online service is a huge improvement and reflects what libraries are all about - offering a modern efficient service that looks great and makes it easier than ever to find the items you want to borrow.” If you’re not already a library member, you can join online or in a library branch and you’ll have access to your new online account straight away.

All library members can borrow up to 12 items at a time and choose from a catalogue of 12 million items.

Library members can also instantly borrow and download eBooks and eAudiobooks using the library’s Borrowbox app.
