Minister Heather Humphreys TD presents the Age Friendly Recognition Charter to Amanda Branigan, Acting County Librarian, Louth County Council
Louth County Library Services have been awarded the ‘Age Friendly Recognition Charter’ by Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD.
The Minister awarded Age Friendly Recognition Charters to Ireland's public libraries at an event in Edgeworthstown Library in Co. Longford on February 16th.
Minister Humphreys said she was "delighted" to recognise "the superb work of our public libraries in developing enhanced services for ageing communities and to award the Age Friendly Recognition Charters to our library services".
Libraries, she added, "are a core service within our neighbourhoods, and they are particularly invaluable to older people as a source of information, and as community hubs, learning centres and cultural facilities."
The Age Friendly Recognition Charter recognises the progress made by the public library service in developing enhanced services for older communities. Public libraries have reviewed their collections and event programmes along with their facilities and services to identify improvements to meet older people's needs.
Louth County Council’s Acting County Librarian, Amanda Branigan received the charter from Minister Humphreys and said: “Library staff across all our branches go above and beyond to create welcoming, accessible, and relevant services for older people and people who have diverse and changing needs”.
Each of the five branch libraries in Louth have an Age Friendly staff champion and run a wide range of programmes throughout the year to cater for the needs of older people.
All library services are free.
