Help us to get a FREE library!

16/10/2015

 
As you know, we expect to move into our new wing in November. We are very excited about this. Our new wing will give us so many extra resources and spaces in our school and it will be absolutely wonderful!

One of the new rooms provided for us will be a school library. We are really looking forward to having one room in the school dedicated completely to reading and books!

The clothes collection this month will go some way towards filling that room with books. But we are still a long way short.

Bord Gais have a programme where they gift A FREE LIBRARY to schools, communities and charities. We would absolutely LOVE to be the recipient of such a prize. €1,500 worth of books would be AMAZING for us to get!

Please nominate us for this amazing prize.

Suggested responses to the questions are set out below to make this process even easier for you but please feel free to add your own thoughts on it.

Name of nominated organisation: Citywest Educate Together National School
Address: Fortunestown Lane, Citywest, Dublin 24.
Website: www.citywestetns.ie
Contact person in this organisation: Caitriona Hand
Telephone: 01-4035906
Charity number: We're working on it!
Is this organisation a community, voluntary or charitable one? Yes
Is this a non-profit organisation? Yes
Tell us a bit about this organisation: We are a new school, just opened three years, and already grown to over 200 pupils. 54% of our pupils have English as an additional language and, in January 2016, we are opening a special class for children with ASD so we are trying very hard to cater for the diverse needs of our community, providing equality-based education for the families of Citywest. Parental and community involvement is a priority for us:
  • a comprehensive after-school programme
  • visits to our local nursing home, theatre, library, places of worship, etc.
  • used as a polling station
  • speakers and guests regularly invited to visit
We are very excited to be opening our very first library in November 2015. However, we are being given an empty room with shelves and we have very few books to put into it. We would dearly love to fill the room with lots of books for our very special children to read. As a new and junior school, we have had to prioritise buying books that teach children how to read. Now, we want to focus on getting books that our children will ENJOY reading! It would mean the world to us to see our children in the library, with enough books to go around.
