The KH library has had their head in the books this term! So many wonderful events have happened in the Harden Library with an array of wonderful books being added continuously.
World Book Day 2024
To celebrate world book day 2024 we invited young fiction author Adiba Jaigirdar to speak with the students. This was also a part of our drop everything and read initiative.
Adiba, a Bangladeshi/Irish author of many YA fiction books, including bestseller “Henna Wars” was interviewed by F5 student Gabrielle.
Huge thanks to our librarians, Joan & Maggie, for organising, Gabrielle, Laraib for introducing our guest, and members of the book club.

Our students got the chance to attend the KPMG Children’s Books Ireland Awards Ceremony 2024 before the end of term.
