The ability to find, evaluate and use information effectively is an essential skill in providing a positive impact on learning achievement. The Nano Nagle Library, designed with connectivity and the rapidly developing technology of 21st Century learning at the forefront, encourages students to broaden their exposure to a wide range of digital and print information resources and to apply higher order thinking skills in choosing the most relevant information. Fiction, non-fiction and current, high-interest literature support the development of thinking, life-long learning and a love of reading in general. An abundance of magazines, newspapers and useful resources for both personal development and career education are widely available. The ‘Book Club’ literature group meet regularly throughout each Term.
