2021 has certainly had its ups and downs, but its been a great year for the library collection.

This year we have added over 700 new items to the library which has updated the stock considerably. The end of the year is always a good time to look at what the most popular books of the year have been, and this year, it has been a mix of fiction and sporting biographies. The following books have been the top 25 most issued books this year, so if you are looking for something tried and tested to read over the school holidays, you might like to consider one of these:

My life, my fight – Steven Adams

The call – Peadar O’Guilin
