My Open Library

Cork City Libraries popular My Open Library Service is available in Glanmire Library, Blackpool Library, Douglas Library and Bishopstown Library.

My Open Library is a service where public libraries offer extended open hours, using a mix of staffed and unstaffed self-service hours.

During unstaffed hours, members who are registered My Open Library members can access the library from 8.00 am to 10.00 pm every day, including weekends.

If you are interested in becoming a My Open Library patron you will need to attend an induction session at the library at which you plan to use this service. To find out more about the service contact Bishopstown, Blackpool, Douglas or Glanmire Library.
