In January 2016, my Department launched the Libraries Capital Investment Programme 2016-2021.

Over the lifetime of the programme, the Department will invest approximately €23m in 17 capital projects and the roll out of the My Open Library service. This will be matched by some €35m of local authority own funds.

All funding has been allocated under the programme since January 2016 and will be drawn down by the relevant local authorities as projects progress over the period of the programme. Details in relation to the amounts allocated and the expenditure to date on each project is set out in the accompanying table.
