One of our favourite events tomorrow in the library. Our girls will give speeches, read poems, sing songs, dance and tell us how they feel about being teenage girls in Dublin right now! It will be Empowering and Inspiring! #girlpower #internationalwomensday #schoollibrary @jcsplibraries.bsky.social

Lots of student photos (more to come) for the #jcsplibraries #snapphotographycompetition. Next week staff and students will vote for their top 5 photos to go forward to the finals. #artsineducation #snap #takeashot #schoollibrary @jcsplibraries.bsky.social

Our wonderful Wonder Women committee met today to discuss Friday’s #internationalwomensday library event where all the school’s girls will meet to give speeches, sing, dance and set the world to rights for teenage girls! #girlpower @jcsplibraries.bsky.social

Reading Challenge time! First up, First Years have to read as many Little People, BIG DREAMS books as they can in the next few weeks!

Do the #acceleratedreader quiz, get a great result (easy!), cross it off the list, and put a ⭐️ on the door. Always a popular challenge.

Hanzala guessed it! 36 nationalities in CBS James St. That diversity makes us a much more interesting school and a great place for our students. The library is providing as much help as it can: multi-language welcome packs, home language books, programmes to learn English etc. #safespace #diversity

Sharing books and making new friends! 1N went to Francis Street Primary and gave them lots of lovely books. In return they gave us Hot Chocolate! We also spent time taking photos for the JCSP SNAP photography competition! @jcsplibraries.bsky.social #bookdonations #makingfriends

Well, I'm inspired!!!

This is huge! Some DEIS (ie disadvantaged) schools in Ireland are going to get a JCSP Library and a professional Librarian! It’s in the Prog for Government just announced. Maybe it will be your school 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 and you’re in line for a MASSIVE boost to literacy and numeracy efforts and a wonderful space!
