Well done Megha 👏
JCSP Library Jamebo

It’s so simple really: This is all from having a librarian give a literacy class a week for all juniors in Jamebo! #fundSchoolLibraries . DEMAND this for your children! #schoollibrarians . The library runs the #acceleratedreader programme to keep students reading, and reading…

Admit it: doing stuff like this is why some of us became librarians! #bookstamplife #BookRecommendation #ireadthis #reading #librarians #jcsplibrarians #jcsplibraries #schoollibrary

Our pleasure! 💙 You’ve a great bunch of library assistants there!

Thanks SO much to JCSP Library Jamebo for hosting our new team of Library Assistants today - we learned LOADS from their team & left brimming with ideas for our library Clogher Road Community College 💡🤩📚

And for the day that's in it, we celebrated with Star Wars donuts 🚀🌠🪐🍩

Yes, in my experience a school library staffed by a qualified librarian can provide huge benefits especially in schools serving disadvantaged areas. Why the Irish DE has stalled so long in fulfilling their promises re the JCSP Library scheme is beyond me.

Brilliant! Our Silent Books Collection is available for loan to all schools. Contact us!

Apologies to all for apparently ruining every photograph at the launch of Poetry Ireland Review 138 last night. With the benefit of hindsight I can see that huddling up beside the sound equipment like some little moustache twirling goblin was, in fact, not very discrete at all.

Reading competition for our students: Want Limited Edition #skulduggerypleasant goodies? Just read as many of the books as you can, pass the quiz on #acceleratedreader , repeat! All the books are in the library, but also on our free digital library #sora . #schoollibrary

Some takeaways from a very interesting talk by National Literacy Trust on the importance of #readingforpleasure in secondary schools. It’s so important for teens’ mental health and empathy. #teensreading #teenmentalhealth #schoollibrary #schoollibrarian #readingage #notquotes

Thanks to the library committee, Lorna, Sandra and Joe, and a couple of our past pupils, for installing new shelf signage in the library this week 🙌 📚💫

Reading the applications for our Library Assistant team in CBS James Street is always a heart-warming thing! This shows what a school library and librarian are worth, especially in our disadvantaged schools. Pic from Oliver Jeffers book. #libraryassistants #schoollibrary

Check out this article about a project our school was involved in! A group of second-level students from DEIS schools wrote a poem with #UCD poets. During lockdown, over zoom! It’s going into space. Here it is etched onto the base of the satellite! rte.ie/news/2022/1004…
