Over 500 students were involved in the process of composing, designing and publishing their own books and were recognised for their endeavours at a presentation in the Mayo Education Centre in April.
Well known local author Terry McDonagh presented the pupils with certificates and prizes. Easons were the sponsors of this novel initiative.
