 * A Local Studies Collection involves both the concept of living history and responsibilities to future historians thus it will always continue to grow. Our aim is to collect, organise and make available materials relating to Sligo and its people. Over the past fifty years Sligo Library has attempted to carry out the task of accumulating these items. Through connections with specialist antiquarian dealers, local booksellers and the generosity of Sligo people the collection continues to grow and is currently in excess of 10, 000 items.
