Welcome to the library section of the St Joseph of Cluny secondary school website.
In this section, you can find library news and events as well as resources for students and teachers. Throughout the year, Cluny Library hosts events including author visits, exhibitions and club meetings.
The library is a vibrant and welcoming space which hosts many activities such as board games, quizzes and themed weeks throughout the year.
Cluny library’s goal is that students want to come into the library; that they are happy when they do and also that they take something from it – such as learning something new, or being able to relax and simply find a book that they really enjoy. The library endeavours to foster a love of reading among the whole school community.
Books that cover all reading levels and tastes are available. Reading is a timeless pleasure and it is something that students can take away with them when they leave school.
