Kildare's 15 libraries have re-opened today, for the first time this year.

Appointments of 30 minutes in duration are available, and readers can pre-order their books.

Kildare Libraries say, however, "This visit is for browsing and lending only. It is not possible to visit the library for PC usage or studying at this time."
