HEdNIOur community has been invited to take part in an exclusive story-making project by Libraries NI & Fighting words with 20 schools.
Our home educated children are very excited to be given consideration and can’t wait to submit their entries!
The most up-to-date project information can be found at

We are happy to announce that from January the 6th 2020 home educated children can apply for a home education entitlement card. This new card will allow them to borrow more books than the standard – 15 books for three weeks rather than the usual 9.
We know how welcome this will be to families all over Northern Ireland!
A note on privacy:
We have discussed concerns that families have over their personal data and any hint of a register with Libraries NI, and we are confident that this is a useful and positive initiative. No register will be kept and no details shared. However any family who prefers not to take up the offer can of course continue to use the standard library card.
