Library News & Careers Corner

Library News

This week our library staff have been doing online training to learn more about the app 'Stor' which is another way to access the e-book collection which is managed by Catholic Schools Office and available to students free of charge. It will be particularly useful for those students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. We will circulate more details on Stor next newsletter.

Thank you to everyone who continue to return library books. Any overdue library books are welcomed back with open arms. No penalties apply.

We have books for all reading abilities and our Teacher Librarian Mrs Glenda Lemon is also our College Careers Advisor.
