| Hi, Belmullet library is my local which I use a lot. Do you have any plans to introduce e-books, for kindle users? I think this service would be invaluable, and could generate more income for the library service. Thanks, Catherine. | Ireland | katiem111 31/12/2011 17:11:47 |

| Are there any emigration records for the family name: Walsh in the Mayo Libary system ? My great grandfather, Michael Joseph Walsh was born in Mayo in 1834 and in the 1900 NY census is listed as having arrived in NY in 1857. He was Catholic and I know the Cathoic Emancipation Act only went into efect in 1829. Are there any accessible records ? Thank you for your attenton to this inquiry. Rev. Veronica Walsh Don | United States | vwalshd 12/12/2011 03:12:22 |
| Is there any chance members could log in using their email address or an account name simbler than the barcode required. Well done on the eaudiobooks section, please keep expanding the titles available | Ireland (Mayo) | vincentfar 13/08/2011 09:08:37 |
| i these days of reduced resources, could the library services consider the approach taken by the Linenhall where they ask that people who can pay more / make a donation do so. The annual FEE for the service we get is fantastic and i would be prepared to pay much more for this service. Make it a voluntary contribution without any publication | Ireland (Mayo) | aidanhope 03/08/2011 10:25:10 |

| Hi there, just wondering if you could give me any ideas on how to go about finding out about my Great Grandfather from Ballindine. His name was Martin Conroy - A Tailor (mentioned in the song about Ballindine), married to Winifred Diskin - according to the 1911 Census, he lived at no. 13 Ballindine which is now knocked. Was 46 at time of census and winifred 37. Two surviving children of 5. PAtrick my grandfather who was 5. And Mary Ann (9), who never married. He died in the 1950's. My grandfather had 4 children and there is presently only one male to carry on the conroy name. Trying to find out if there are any more of us out there.. Many thanks | Ireland (Outside Mayo) | Louiseconroy 26/08/2010 22:49:39 |
| You are to be commended on the excellent genealogical service you provide. I have on a number of occasions contacted your County Library and compared to other libraries and museums, the standard of service, helpfulness and knowledge has been outstanding. Thanks to Ivor for his patience and to his staff; Alan and Mary. | Wales | williamjef 19/05/2010 15:12:36 |

| I know this is short notice but....I'll be staying in Adare the 19th to the 26th of Oct. and would love to travel to Shrule (I believe) which has a "Burke" library...would love to "search out" any relatives: Burke, O'Neil, Prendergasts, Gallagher, Hannahan. Thank you so much for any info and/or resources I can use to drive from Adare to Shrule and to the library. Thank you for your time.

| Can you judge a town by its book shop or Library? probably not in Castlebars case, the library here is a raison d'etre for the entire town, not a bad selection of books, could do with less fiction and more material on social sciences and medicine, nice staff, one lady in particular who's empathy and professionalism is a cut above your average Civil Servant. She knows who she is. Is mise le meas Ed Staunton | Ireland (Mayo) | eddiestaun 12/08/2009 18:26:54 |
| great staff in claremorris & castlebar I would however like a faster change around of mills & boon books as they are only light reading so change is good. i would like to compliment you on the genealogy sevice avilable in castlebar which i used a lot for family research purpose. thank you nora | Ireland (Mayo) | noramonagh 20/05/2009 |

| The County Mayo Memorial and Peace Park, Castlebar, Ireland Dear Sir/Madam should this be included on your website as it is a valuable educationl/genealogical reference,a link to the website.

| I have just returned to New York after a very enjoyable break in my native Ballinrobe. I would like to compliment Ballinrobe Library on a wonderful night of carols on Sun before Christmas. Took my wife and three children there and it was most enjoyable. It really captivated the spirit of Christmas. The mulled wine went down a treat!!! Keep up the good work Mayo libraries. | United States | tburke58 02/01/2008 16:13:01 |
| Special and ongoing thanks to Pauline from the Achill branch, and to Ann and Ivor from the Castlebar Library during times when they've been filling in at the Achill branch. I'm a professor (in family studies) from the USA on sabbatical leave during the August 2007-July 2008 academic year. Your goodwill, sound advice, and help have enabled me to locate more resources during the few months than I had been able to do on my own during all of the previous several years put together. :-)) Am back in the USA for the holidays just now; looking forward to seeing you again in early February 2008! | United States | grainne 18/12/2007 01:32:10 |
| I happened to be in Castlebar recently, when it was brought to my attention that singer Mick Flavin was launching the new music department that night. I went expecting a short talk, a song or two and all done and dusted. How wrong I was. I had a brilliant night – Mick Flavin sang at least 12 songs, people got up dancing & sang a few songs, the great Michael Cummins compered and the library staff were excellent. I really enjoyed myself – Well done, Mayo County Library! | Ireland (Outside Mayo) | 08/12/2007 13:08:09 |
| I notice that the author Doreen Edwards is mentioned in the recommendations but what about the other novels by this author under her present pen name - Gwen Madoc. Madoc has had six books published by Hodder & Stoughton and two books published by Severn House Publishers. I think these books deserve to be included in the recommendations also. | United Kingdom | jacigwyn 12/11/2007 14:59:59 |

Does anyone know anthing of William's first Kilroy family back in Ireland? God bless you if you do !! | Ireland (Mayo) | j.kilroy 10/09/2007 12:55:03 |
| I have had great difficulty in obtaining the book Famine in Mayo by Ivor Hamrock. I live in London and none of the known bookstores can find it on their list. Even in thr bookshop in Killarney I tried to order it they too could not find it listed. When I try to click on the Buy this Book nothing happens. Can you help me? | Ireland (Mayo) | dennehyoo7 10/09/2007 09:52:30 |
| Whilst staying with relatives in Mayo recently, I took my young son to the “Harry Potter” Launch Night Party in the County Library. A lot of work went into such an enjoyable night- the Library was beautifully transformed, with a great atmosphere and all the staff members dressed up for the occasion. Because it was taking place at a very late hour, I was a bit apprehensive in case my son would find it frightening but he loved every minute. From the moment we were met at the front door, we had so much fun. Face painting, games & plenty of goodies for all, I felt I should place my appreciation to all concerned, for a “night to remember”. | Ireland (Outside Mayo) | 08/08/2007 17:55:12 |
| Congrats on the new look of the library, was visiting recently and was very impressed. I was also very impressed with the wide selection of books you have. i will suggest however that it would be better if you got more biographys included into your selection | Ireland (Outside Mayo) | 31/07/2007 16:01:01 |

| I hope to come back to beautiful Ireland many times....my heart will always be there. My maternal grandparents came from Ballaghadereen, County Mayo, in 1899 or early 1900's..... Bridget (Delia) Coffey was from Ballinrumpa, and Peter Morrisroe was from Raherolus (both Parish of Kilmovee). Would love to hear from any Morrisroes, Coffeys, Jordans, Regans, Byrnes still in Mayo or Roscommon. | United States | halliehendry 21/07/2007 13:25:06 |
| I work on my family history. Starts in Ireland, Cty Mayo.Swinford. Mary Murtagh b. 1872 to Bridget and John Murtagh. Left for American in 1895. Looking for any relations. Heard of a cousin Bridget Jordan, cant find her. Any help. Thank you in advance. | Ireland (Mayo) | nwnh 07/07/2007 04:59:55 |
| Researching my Mayo ancestors, all of Islandeady parish, including Martin McTigue and Bridget Joyce (married March 2, 1840) and Patrick Lally and Winifred McGreevy (married March 23, 1846). Many of their grandchildren ended up in Chicago, including my grandfather. | Ireland (Mayo) | dlculhane 05/07/2007 14:29:53 |
| Very informative site; looking for Brown's and Donnelly's from Castlebar area and the library has been very helpful | USA | robb129 08/05/2007 01:10:19 |
| I have been most impressed with the efficiency of the Mayo Library Website which I have been using for about 6 months now. In addition when telephoning, particularly to Castlebar,the level of service has been outstanding and I have to single out Thomas Murtagh (hope I've spelled that correctly)for his professionalism and courtesy. A pity other state departments are not up to the same standard! | Ireland (Mayo) | jvalerio 05/05/2007 22:40:00 |

| I am pleased to have found this resource online and expect to use it in the future for my family history research. I am still working my way through the information. I am visiting Co Mayo, appropriately, in the month of May. I will be calling in to see your resources then. Meanwhile I will probably ring you to check on the need to book film or fiche readers. Sincerely, Sandra Burge in New Quay, Wales | Wales | sanburnq 27/04/2007 10:09:24 |
| Not sure what to say. My grandfather Michael Joseph Gallagher was born the youngest of six children in Castlebar, Mayo. He left in 1872 to come to America.

| Enjoyed your Mayo Maps on Line information. I had been a visitor to your library in May of 2000, and copied information from the Crimlin, Tawnyshane and Largan areas where my mom and dad were born in the early 1900's before immigrating to the U.S.A. This information has been very useful to my brother and I while we pieced together our McHale and McNicholas family trees. Hope you continue providing such valuable information on line. Have a great day! | Ireland (Mayo) | mafarmer2003 03/03/2007 00:22:35 |

| Hi, I am researching into the Carabine family. I know that they are from Mayo. I think that James Carabine (b.1809) lived there and married Winifred McCail but then they moved to Bolton Lancs where they had John Carabine (b.1835).

I really did have a good time on your "If you like...". It was also interesting to see if you have one of my favourite Canadian authors, Michael Ondaatje, and you have! It's lovely to see Canadian literature in other parts of the world. I'm putting Mayo on my next trip to Ireland. (I've only been to Ireland once - 25 years ago, but I do want to go again.)

| I think you should set up a service where a person can check if a certain book is avaliable in the library. For example in Cork there was a computer for this purpose | Ireland(Mayo) | toffeeandm 22/06/2004 14:31:41 |

Both my parents were born in Mayo, Dad Patrick Murphy (1898)in Ballyhean and Mom Mary Anne Gibbons (1900)in Turlough.. Still have many cousins over there however not on line.. Hopefully they will take advantage of your site and the libray computers to keep in touch... Would love to hear from you and what I may be able to find on line.. Will be visiting Castlebar in September Thanks, MaryPat | Ireland(Mayo) | cmarypatc 20/05/2003 |
| I never fully thanked you for all the help you gave me when I visited in 2002. I particularly remember Ms. Costello's kindness and thank her especially. Thomas Flatley, whose parents emigrated in the 1920's from Swinford and Falleens. | United States | flatleyt 20/05/2003 |
| I live in the New York City area, where or how can I obtain a copy of Rosa Meehan's new book, "The Story of Mayo", I would like to get several copies. Also, I would like to see your photo collection on-line and wonder if you would like to add local history photographs from family and/or personal collections. Lastly, it would be great if you could make more parish records available to the public. I'm especially interested in Keelogues parish records. Thank You Michael Lavin | Ireland(Mayo) | bohogue 20/05/2003 |
| think the website is easy to use,full of information and very welcoming.my only problem is im trying to trace my irish relatives and have seen your geneology services[which are brimming with information]i would like to access the irish census's but it doesnt appear i can do that from the internet access...i wish i could visit mayo but thats not an option at this time.do you offer any help for people like myself??would love to hear back if thats possible.regards cherie whitbread. | Ireland(Mayo) | damian.whi 20/05/2003 |
| Great library here,only thing is you don't seem to get new fiction book in the young adult section very often-and thats the reason I come here,and I;ve semmed to have read all the books yhat interests me.other than that very impressive Martin | Ireland(Mayo) | Ger64 20/05/2003 |
| it graet that you can go on the intrenet for free. | Ireland(Mayo) | 20/05/2003 |
| I was checking out your website for reviews of child- ren's books and think it is really great. One of your links on what everyone should read (on the kids zone) links to girlie magazines which covers Cosmopolitan and others - I'm not sure if this is the intended link or if the subject of the site is different since you last checked - it is an i-something. Thought you'd want to know. Thank you. | Ireland(Mayo) | joan.kelly 20/05/2003 |
| This facility to use the internet for free and freely is really just brilliant. I think that local material on businesses,large and small, companies and sole-traders, would be very beneficial to all library users at one time or another. | Ireland(Mayo) | gillanf 20/05/2003 |
| great site | Ireland(Mayo) | n/a 20/05/2003 |
| Very nice facilities! | Ireland(Mayo) | 20/05/2003 |

| Is the wynne photographic collection on line? | Ireland(Outside Mayo) | iomharofac 20/05/2003 |
| I think that it is very good that library members have the use of the internet, as it is very helpful for study and finding out about almost anything. It is extremely useful for anyone who has not got access to a computer at home. | Ireland(Mayo) | jayne___ge 20/05/2003 |
| Having visited the Local Studies section recently can I congratulate the staff on the assistance given and the wonderful facilities on hand.

| I am interested in finding my grandparents' birth records, so I have been looking around your website. I am staying in County Clare at present, though we live out in the country about 60 miles from Pittsburgh, PA, USA. With Bush's recent policies, I am starting to consider emigrating from the US. I (and my family) disagree vehemently with many of his views. | Ireland | gerrywalsh 20/05/2003 |
| I am always looking for info on my Grandparents, Toolan(Toole) and Murphy, both from Mayo. Anthony Toolan(Toole) born 1847 and Rose Murphy, born 1848. They went to Leeds England where they were married in 1868, had two children and went to the USA about 1873-1876. Rose had cousins named Howard from Leeds. I have been to Mayo twice and love the western part of the country. | United States | toolan 20/05/2003 |

| My comment is that mobile phones should be banned from public libraries. No exceptions. the ringing is a distraction and the talking is definitely so.! | Ireland(Mayo) | mulliganch 20/05/2003 |
| I'm doing genealogy research on the Mayo family and found my way to your website. | United States | dbuschow 20/05/2003 |
| Since my father was born and reared about three miles outside of Foxford and my wife was born about four miles outside Louisburgh I have great interest in Mayo and visit the area once or twice a year. I read in the Western People that a site is coming: Mayohistory.ie but I could not get it. I just found this site and I am looking forward to exploring it.

| You can make this website updated more frequently because I took out Return of the King Large Print from Castlebar Library Wednesday week ago and it came down to Crossmolina but on this website it said it's still "ON SHELF".Please can you listen to my suggestion and it could save you a lot of time. Thanks | Ireland(Mayo) | CorcoranSi 20/05/2003 |
| A very nice website, although I did not find any information that I was looking for. I am trying to gather some information on my grand parents. My father Patrick, came to the United States when he was 17 years old and did not talk about his life in Ireland very much. He passed a number of years ago and I am trying to gather information on my grand parents and great grand parents. If you have any advice I would appreciate a reply. Thank You, Thomas Behan | United States | tbehan 20/05/2003 |
| I think it would be a great idea if you had an advertising link, for castlebar and surrounding town lands, on your web site. | Ireland(Mayo) | akspragg 20/05/2003 |
| Well done! excellent website very convenient | Ireland(Mayo) | iversann 20/05/2003 |
| I worked in a public library for 5 years just as they automated their system and one of the biggest complaints we got is how the website was so hard to understand. I'd say you beat our complaint easily. This site is so well designed and with just the right information available. Very impressive. It's nice to see more than just a catalog and no other information. | United States | tratka 20/05/2003 |

| Congratulations on a fabulous Web site. One little suggestion would be to list;GENEALOGY, since it is County Mayo's most important; "Invisible Import" I am very aware of this since I am a Genealogist, and have been helping people trace their roots for over 40 years, actually since I came to America in 1957. Genealogy is the #1 Hobby in America. God bless and keep up the good work. P. O Faolain | United States | Princephil 23/05/2002 15:24:22 |

| I feel that the business area of Castlebar library needs to have more local and national leaflets avaible,At present the range is quiet sparse and although there is a useful management range of books there is little "hands on" or national material avaible | Ireland(Mayo) | mono16 23/04/2002 15:03:29 |
| I was looking over your sight to see if I could find anyway to trace my great-grandmother's roots. She was born in Treenduff, Bohola, Mayo, to Patrick Kilgallon and Bridget Noon Kilgallon. I would appreciate any assistance or direction you can give to me. Thanks, and God bless Joyce Chabot | Ireland(Mayo) | joypeacelo 21/04/2002 18:43:00 |
