Thanks to Eric Theise (he in San Francisco!) I now have the enhanced spreadsheet of 350 Public Libraries with Lat/Lons added.
Eric also produced a leaflet map see link below. http://erictheise.github.io/irish-libraries/ Please look at the libraries local to you and where possible add the building if not already mapped. Please email me the names of any points which you notice are incorrectly placed. Eric suggests the following are worth noting: Timahoe did not work for him. Askeaton appears in County Cork Donabate Portrane no values Clare Island no values By the way he apologizes if some of the County Colours are wrong, he got them from somewhere on the internet! I noticed from his map: DLR LexIcon is marginally out by perhaps 50 metres Mullingar Library is missing The library in Palmerstown is the wrong side of Mill Lane if it refers to the one in Stewarts Hospital which I visited when mapping. Donaghmede is misplaced. Perhaps it should be in the shopping centre. Lucan should be at the South East corner of the Shopping Centre Galway City Library may be slightly displaced, although I have visited it I can not be sure. Having visited the following I can confirm the spots are correctly positioned: Stillorgan, Deansgrange, Bray Ballwaltrim, Bray Town, Ballyroan, Tallaght, Blackrock, Whitechurch, Ballsbridge, Dublin DCLA, Portlaoise, Limerick, Cabinteely, Tullamore, Thurles and Wexford. I greatly appreciate Eric's prompt help and hope it may be possible to bring this further at the get-together on the 23rd, so your news of any needed corrections in the meantime would be useful. If anyone would like a copy of the data please email me and I will send a copy.
