*New* WHC Online Book Club

We are glad to announce that we have set up a new Online Book Club for all book lovers from Limerick to share their views and opinions on all literary related matters. To join our Online Book Club, you must be a member of LibraryThing. Our book club can be found at this address So get chatting and don't be shy! For instructions on how to join up go here What is LibraryThing? LibraryThing is an online service to help people catalog their books easily. You can access your catalog from anywhere—even on your mobile phone. Because everyone catalogs together, LibraryThing also connects people with the same books, comes up with suggestions for what to read next, and so forth. What software does it require? None. If you can read this, you can use LibraryThing.

WHC Book Club Ends Year On a High!

A nice end to a very successful year for the WHC Book Club, many interesting and diverse books were consumed and dissected!. A Happy New Reading Year to all our members.

*NEW* Check Our Catalogue Whilst Browsing Amazon!

A new feature that will be very helpful to all borrowers is this little piece of code that you insert as a Link or a Favourite in your internet browser. Basically insert this code as a link and if you are browsing Amazon.co.uk (this will not work with amazon.com because they use different ISBN numbers there) and see a book you like you can click on the link and a window will open and show you if we have the book in our stock!!! It is recommended to use Apple Safari or Google Chrome Web Browsers as they are more secure and user friendly. If you need any help with setting this up, contact Liam at the Library Desk. Copy and Paste this code in as a URL in your Favourites/Links - Call it 'Check WHC Library Catalogue'
javascript:var%20re=/([\/-]|is[bs]n=)(\d{7,9}[\dX])/i;if(re.test(location.href)==true){var%20isbn=RegExp.$2;void(win=window.open('http://ipac.limerickcity.ie'+'/ipac20/ipac.jsp?index=ISBN&term='+isbn,'LibraryLookup','scrollbars=1,resizable=1,location=1,width=575,height=500'))}
