Today, Year 9 and 10 English students spent a lesson discovering new books and making suggestions for the Cabra College libraries.

Students used links from the Senior Library Blog to explore the wealth of reading sites available. Pupils then had a crash course on searching our brand new Access-It Library Catalogue to check if we already had the books; if not a comment was left for Mr Bull about which titles to purchase. If you have a suggestion for a new title to be included in the collection just leave a comment.
