The Junior Certificate Schools Programme (JCSP) includes a Demonstration Library Project. This project establishes high quality, fully stocked and equipped modern school libraries and provides each with a professional librarian.

There are 31 Librarians working with this project and I am pleased to say that all of these Librarians will be retained for a further academic year 2011/2012. The contracts will be renewed from September 1st 2011 when they will fall due for renewal.
