The Commissioners had identified Sean Lemass Library as the ideal location for this additional facility for the town. Work began on sourcing and installing the equipment and it coincided with The Clare Library Service securing funding for the installation of internet access PCs. The library was seen as an ideal location as it was already home to the Shannon Language Centre where audio, visual and print resources for learning a wide variety of modern languages are available. This presented the committee with the opportunity to enhance the IT service by providing a bank of computers with relevant packages for use by community groups and other individuals. It is very much a lifelong learning project with self-help tutorial packages available and this is in-keeping with the library's policy of empowering people to help themselves.

Consequently, those who wish to improve their keyboard skills, or who wish to type letters, design posters, personalise a card, draft reports, agendas, thesis or their very own novel may now do so. Access to the new facility is available to current members of Clare County Library by simply registering at the library desk and presenting a valid library card. The service is free and each session may last an hour. Work may be downloaded to floppy disk and/or printed.
