1D have all become members of Cork County Council Library and Libraries Ireland! We visited Skibbereen Library on Thursday 09 March where we were warmly welcome by all the library staff.
The library service is free of charge and up to 12 books can be borrowed at any one time. The library also provides a space to conduct research, print project work etc. Students were shown how to borrow and return books and learned how to request and reserve titles from other branches. Books can be borrowed from and returned to any branch nationally.
Members can also access ebooks and audio books free of charge. It is possible to read daily newspapers and magazines for free, send documents for printing remotely, book a PC, borrow or return a book in any library in the country, access language learning programmes and much, much more! In fact, you can even borrow a musical instrument from your local library!
Many thanks to Mary, Veronica and Gina in Skibbereen Library, and to teachers, Ms O’ Sullivan and Ms Burke for facilitating the visit.
We have also included some photos of students acting out various scenes from the drama, Burning Everest. Well done to all involved!
