30 DEIS schools currently have a demonstration library through the Junior Certificate School Programme (JCSP). While I have no plans to expand this particular scheme, it may be noted that all DEIS schools are free to use funds from their DEIS grant to meet identified educational needs within their pupil cohort, including library facilities.
