On Tuesday, 9th November 2010, the Library in Carndonagh CS became the centre of attention for many pupils and staff as the new Reading Corner was officially opened. It's funded by the Junior Certificate Schools Programme, which is a junior cycle programme that offers a practical alternative to regular academic education in Ireland. Initial reports suggest that the Reading Corner is probably the most comfortable corner in the whole school!...A perfect setting for enjoying a good book. As the librarian, I can tell you it's a tough job getting them out of the seats to go to class...and that's just the staff! Our first rule: If you sit, you read!
This is so surprising and wonderful! I wish we could have a reading corner like this one in our school. (In fact we haven't got any reading corner, I am really jealous) Who had this great idea?

One of my colleagues, Mr. Finbarr Gallagher, did a lot of the work himself. I helped a bit, since it is my library! However, an agency within the Department of Education allocated money to our school specifically for the development. In fact, we were forced to have a Reading Corner...Nice one!
