We also have a dedicated Post-Primary Schools Library service which is administered from Ashbourne Library.

Your partner library branch can be found here. 

The Range of Library Services offered to Post-Primary Schools are:

• Class visits to your library branch
  Your local library will accommodate class visits from your school to the library arranged locally in advance.
   
• A teacher’s card made available to every teacher in the school
  Each post-primary teacher in your school is entitled to receive a teacher’s card, on request, from your library service. The card enables a teacher to borrow items for his/her class.
   
• A presentation at the school on the library services may be available for students and staff
  We can provide a presentation on the library services, on request, at your local library or at your school to teachers, pupils or parents.

  We provide reading and curriculum support materials, young adult collections and online learning resources.
