The Library itself, a County Council
branch library, is small and contains little of special interest, but is housed
in the former Church of Ireland parish church; a very pretty stone building
set in a very well-kept churchyard, still in use as a burial ground. Part of
the church is used for local displays and exhibitions. The east window is of
very handsome stained glass, and there are some interesting wall plaques commemorating
deceased parishioners who distinguished themselves in bygone days. The churchyard
is immaculately maintained and contains a number of venerable grave stones.
The library is open on most afternoons, some evenings and on saturday mornings.
