Our Junior and Senior School Libraries have flourished this year as vibrant hubs of activity, igniting a love for literature and celebrating the transformative power of reading.

Through book clubs, special author events, Writers in Residence, and the Whole School Book Week, we have celebrated the spirit of learning through curiosity and embraced the bravery required to explore uncharted stories and possible worlds.

Curiosity thrives throughout our library spaces, with students uncovering new worlds and ideas through diverse genres and collections. Every interaction during Library and Wide Reading classes fosters connection, as literature becomes a bridge linking peers and perspectives. Acts of kindness are woven into our daily fabric, from sharing recommendations to celebrating each other’s literary discoveries. Together, we create a vibrant community where the magic of stories brings us closer.

The Library Staff

To be given this opportunity as a Literary Captain was the best thing that has happened to me. I can’t put into words how much fun I’ve had, and the joy that was planning Book and Drama week with everyone.

The Friday night before Book Week, a huge team of volunteers transformed our libraries into a magical forest fairy wonderland. To be able to see the library bustling with activity and see students relaxing and reading has been a highlight everyday through my final year of school.

Chatting to the Library staff and being able to decorate our Literary Captain display with my fellow Literary Captain was a lovely opportunity to bond and get to work as a team. I’m thankful for everything that’s happened honestly.

Thank you to my fellow Literary Captain, Mairead, and all the Library staff that have helped us, it wouldn’t be half as fun without you!
