There is however, no access to computers, study
facilities, research or seating at the moment.
Contact and Collect
The Contact and Collect service is a way for library
members to order books and other items and collect them
from the library when they are available. Library
members can place requests using the online
catalogue , by email or by phone. You can select
specific titles or let library staff choose a few wild
card surprises for you. Once the requested items have
arrived, the library service will make contact to
arrange collection. The Contact and Collect service will
operate at both Buncrana Community Library and
Carndonagh Community Library.
