The February 2011 Library survey of staff and students shows an impressive array of books being read by all those surveyed.
To coincide with World Book Day 2011, students and staff were asked to complete an online survey. Three questions were asked: what's the last book that you've read, what was your favourite book in Primary school and what was your favourite fictional character. The results are posted to the Gallery - click here to find out more. They are also display on the Library display boards outside the Library and in the hall.
The array of books being read throughout the school is very impressive.
Thank you all for taking the time to complete the survey.
Ms. O'Kelly
