Our School Library

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

Our School Library

One of our most exciting ventures is the School Library. In recent years the School Library has developed into a major reading resource and IT centre for pupils and staff. It has become a focal point or learning hub for pupils, staff and parents. The Library was officially opened by Frank Mc Guinness in December, 2001.

We are delighted that the Minister for Education has acknowledged the importance of school libraries. Our school has been awarded a grant of €16,000. (May 2022)

 
 

In our School Library we aim:

  • To provide opportunities for pupils, teachers and parents to enhance reading, listening and research skills in a properly designed and well equipped environment.

  • To foster and develop skills for independent learning.

  • To offer a range of quality materials and to encourage good practice in the use of the library as a resource for learning and enjoyment.

  • To provide access to a range of resources to support inclusion and diversity.

  • To stimulate pupils’ natural curiosity in discovering about the world we live in.

  • To promote a life-long love of reading and learning among our pupils.
