Europe Direct centres were set up by the European Commission to provide Irish people with access to information about the European Union. Killarney Library is soon to be designated a Europe Direct Centre for the South West region. It will provide information on all aspects of EU activities, how it affects citizens, how people can benefit from Europe and how citizens can have a say on issues of the day. Members of the public can drop in to pick up leaflets, brochures and books, as well as surfing EU websites and dialing the EU freephone information line.
