School Library

To celebrate the week of Childrens Book Festival (Nov 15-19) lunchtime readings were organised for students by the library staff. Throughout the week both school and visiting readers took the opportunity to share an extract from their favourite book with all who attended. We would like to thank Ms Mary Connelly, Ms Marie Gibney and all who participated in what proved to be a very enjoyable and alternative way of spending lunchtime.
