Description of the procurement
Dublin City Public Libraries is a section of Dublin City Council’s Culture, Recreation & Economic Services Dept. The city’s public library network extends over 21 branches city-wide, serving a population of just over half a million people. The physical infrastructure of branch buildings ranges from purpose built facilities dating from the late nineteenth and early 20th centuries, to rented spaces in shopping centres, to newly designed branch library facilities. The rollout of self-service began in 2010, going live in Pembroke, Raheny and Rathmines libraries. The service was expanded to the Central Library, Ballyfermot and Drumcondra in 2012. The remaining 14 branches went live in 2014. All 21 branches are now equipped with RFID self-service kiosks, with 8 of the branches also equipped with RFID security systems.
