St. Patrick's College Library
is a light airy room situated on the first
floor. The library which is opened from
8.30am until 4.45pm is an information retrieval
resource for the whole school ie. staff
and pupils. Years 8 and 9 are given a library
period weekly in which they can exchange
books and work on projects.
The Library is also an ICT base for independent
research and study for students, particularly
those in Years 13 and 14.
The Library staff has for the past few years
been overseeing the collection of loose
change from the pupils. This is collected
on a weekly basis and donated to Newry Hospice.
Last year £2500 was raised in this
way. |
