Dear Students and Parents,
As part of our literacy drive and in order to encourage wellbeing, we would like to encourage all of our students to continue to ‘drop everything and read’. All First Year students now have a Library Account with Fingal Libraries and can access books through the Fingal Libraries website or the Borrowbox website.
For any other students who may not have a Library Account they can sign up at
https://www.librariesireland.ie/join-your-library. This will require parental permission but once they have created an account, students will be able to access a variety of free educational resources.
Lexia is an online program designed to help improve reading skills. With Lexia, users get to practice and develop the skills that make a successful reader. These include fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. There are two versions of Lexia available to literary members:
📚Lexia Core 5 is suitable for use by primary school pupils
📚Lexia Power Up literacy program is for secondary students and adults.
💻Coding is an increasingly important and popular skill to have, and it allows students to become digitally literate in a fun, exciting way. Fingal Libraries’ new Coding Clubs, with Coding Ireland, provide easily accessible and practical lessons.
Lexia and Coding Clubs join eServices including Borrowbox, RBDigital, Universal Class, Transparent Language and Britannica, to name a few. All eServices are available free of charge to library members and are available at
