Fingal Libraries has several new e-services for 2021. Check out how to use Lexia, a literacy programme, here

A big part of our service at Fingal Libraries is to provide stories, crafts, and special events to the public. When the first lockdown was introduced in March 2020, Fingal Libraries quickly moved its services online to create content over the course of the year. While we very much miss being able to provide these services in-person to our wonderful patrons, we were happy to make them available for free online for all to enjoy.
