This year we took a different approach to the Christmas tree of knowledge, but we think it turned out great. Thank you to the wonderful team of student librarians for decorating the library.

How it works:
The library is back up and running this year However due to Covid-19, things are slightly different this year like most parts of school life. The library has been halved in order to make space for an additional classroom. This means the number of students in the library must be limited, but this won’t stop us! The book clubs are back up and running, book bingo is back, student librarians for this year have been chosen and mindfulness colouring on Mondays is in full swing. Looking forward to see what’s to come for the library.
Past and present Student Librarians and helpful students put together the annual OLS book Christmas tree in the library. We hope everyone has a very happy and peaceful Christmas reading lots of books!

Caution – readers of crime, thrillers and mystery wanted for some spectacular reads in our library! Plenty of good books available to while away a rainy evening or two. Lots of Sophie McKenzie and Lauren Child mystery thrillers to lead the reader on an adventure, all from the safety of your seat!
Some of our Junior Science books on display for Science Week and our lovely STEM/STEAM posters which reside in the library!
As part of Reading Week, we had a Scavenger Hunt in the library with the first team to complete it winning some treats. Lots of movement and fun in the library for 1st years today!
Students at Our Lady’s School enjoyed wonderful talks by author Celine Kiernan yesterday. Students and staff are all reading “Into the Grey” as ‘One Book, One School’. We look forward to reading more from this fabulous Irish author!
