Wonderful to see school libraries, school librarians and access to the Digital School Library service all acknowledged as important elements in proposals for Leaving Cert Reform. Fully support immediate JCSP Library Project expansion. Make it happen. #leavingcert#schoollibraries

When this pic was taken @clongowes of Joyce (ground, centre front), he was not to know that the room containing the arched windows of the backdrop (the refectory) would become the James Joyce Library in 2009, well used by LCs, currently in exams. #Bloomsday#JamesJoyce#heritage

Books arriving from @internationalbooks thanks to funding from the Post-Primary Languages Ireland grant. Building up our home languages collection. #PPLI#homelanguages
Reading has the power to change lives, but in 2008 the school library budget was cut entirely.
Children's Books Ireland is calling for the reinstatement of the school library grant, so that every child has the chance to discover and develop a love of reading.
