Wonderful borrowing stats from the JCSP DLP digital library. This needs to become a national service to all schools without delay - as recommended by the Oireachtas Educ. Committee. Membership currently limited to JCSP & 'some' DEIS schools. Schools/parents/advocates need to raise this issue asap.
Check out our Top 20 #eBook #Audiobook & #DigitalMagazine checkouts for September - & also our Top 20 borrowing Year Groups across our 235 member schools. A total of 9972 titles were checked out this month. #SchoolLibrariesMatter #LoveReading #JCSPdigital
