How do I borrow a book ?
The Parent Library is available at the PTA Coffee mornings which generally take place on the first and third Friday of each month from 9-10am in the Parent Room. (These dates sometimes change, for updated information please check the school newsletters, the notice board outside the school building and text alerts)
What if I can’t make the Coffee Mornings ?
Please email getparentlibrary@hotmail.com or call Loyola Meireles on 086-6077613 to make an alternative arrangement.
When should I return the book ?
We keep a log of all books borrowed and ask you to return them in two weeks time, this can be extended if required.
What if the book gets lost ?
We would appreciate if any books that get lost can be paid for, this will enable us to replace the books and keep the library intact.
What if I’d like my own copy of the book ?
Most of the books in the library can be bought online from www.festivalshop.co.uk or Amazon.co.uk
Feedback
We would be delighted to get feedback on the books currently stocked in the library and if you have time to write a short review of any of the books you read that would be fantastic. We hope to add more books to our library in the future and if you have recommendations of books you feel other parents would enjoy or if there is a particular subject you would like to see included, please send us an email getparentlibrary@hotmail.com
