MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor Lyn Hagin Meade

Cathaoirleach's Business

To ask our local libraries to facilitate and advertise the availability of amenities, such as room space and text book learning resources for home school families and early school leavers.

REPORT:

Library amenities and room spaces are available for all the community to use. There is always a high demand for rooms and a booking system is in place to ensure a fair distribution and to allow the library to run our own annual programme of events. Books are purchased in line with our Stock Management Policy. Although it is not customary to purchase school text books, support material such as literacy schemes, Revise Wise and Leaving and Junior Certificate novels are offered. In addition, a comprehensive programme of events covering areas including literacy and STEAM is also offered to children, young people and families.
