About Our Library
Hollyhill Library service operates from the Sonas building at the rear of the new Drum building, across Courtown Drive from our former premises in the Hollyhill shopping centre. Walk up Foyle Avenue from the entrance to the Doctor's surgery, and we are the last door on the right. This location is temporary, but we provide a full library service for the whole community.
During the summer of 2011, funding was made available to build our new library. The project is currently being prepared for tender. Call in to see preliminary design plans at Hollyhill Library.
