We have a very colourful, relaxed and comfortable area in the library specially for the primary pupils. Comfy chairs, cushions, many characters from books – in cuddly toy version- 

 are all very conducive to settling down with a book. All primary classes visit the library once a week including the P1s who are able to come after the October week holiday. The primary library periods 2015-16 is available for your information. 
 
Generally the pupils from infants will pick which book they’d like read to them invariably Dirty Bertie (about a boy who picks his nose!) 
 
Although P1 & 2 are a little bit young to have the responsibility of taking a book home they are allowed to borrow books to take down to the classroom to look at when they have free time. 
 
Pupils from P3 – P5 are allowed one book home, P6 & 7 are allowed between 2 – 4. There are some very keen readers in the upper primary so quite often 4 is the norm.The books are issued to your son/daughter for a two week period. Sometimes the books come back on time, sometimes they don’t! If, horror of horrors, the book doesn’t come back on time then we will send a letter home and usually the book is back the next day. On the other hand, sometimes the book doesn’t reappear and that’s when we send a letter asking for a suitable replacement book or the replacement value of the book. 
 
We maintain the library to include the most up-to date titles in fiction where possible and also carry an extensive selection of non- fiction material to support all classes in their topic work. 
 
We have lunchtime opening on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for P6 & 7s from 12.15 -12.50.This is very popular with the pupils and because of that it operates on a ‘first come, first served ‘ basis due to high numbers.
