February is African Heritage Month

The school library offers a variety of fiction and non-fiction to help us celebrate and learn about African Heritage.  Check out the display today!

New Year, New Books!

Start the new year off with a great book, there are many to choose from!  This week over 50 new books have been added to the collection with more to follow!

January is a busy month.  We celebrate Family Literacy day and we have an author visit scheduled!  Stay tuned for more details!

Dear Santa...

All I want for Christmas is to have all of the library books returned!  Students wishing to keep a book over the holidays are asked to see me before the end of the week.  The general rule is that all books must be in before the break so we can start fresh in January without wondering where the books have gone.  I do make exceptions for any student who is able to show me their book and tell me what page they are on.  It is that easy.

It has been a busy fall in the library with author Philip Roy visiting, hundreds of new books added to the collection and we have even tuned into some great web casts including a presentation by Jeff Kinney, author of the popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

January will be just as busy with Family Literacy Day and another author visit! 

Enjoy your Christmas vacation everyone, I look forward to reading with you all in the New Year!

Get Goosebumps with R L Stine!

Today students listened to a portion of a 33 minute webcast with Goosebumps author R L Stine.  Due to time restrictions, we were unable to catch the entire webcast.  Here is the link to watch the rest...

Enjoy!

October is International School Library Month

October is International School Library Month.  CCRSB libraries are celebrating with the theme "Food for Thought".  If I said the library will be offering free food all month, I would have students lining up at the door each day, right? 

Well here goes...The library will be offering free food this month.  Food for thought. Hmmm...what does that mean?  Read a book, feed your brain! 

Our school library has an amazing buffet of fiction, non-fiction, magazines and access to online resources and databases that will not only entertain students who love to read for pleasure, but make life easier for those who struggle with research. 

Stop in and see what's on the menu! Let your librarian know how much you appreciate the school library, and don't leave hungry!



Mr. Smith to wear white and blue!

Is it true?. Yes it is. If we reach our sales goal of $2100 at our Back to School Scholastic Book Fair, Mr. Smith has to wear a Leafs jersey for a day!

Remember, for every $10 in sales, our school earns $6 in books for our library and Mrs. Schmidt shares that profit with classrooms, boosting classroom libraries.  So, not only will you be supporting the Maple Leafs by giving them a fan for a day, you are supporting literacy in our school.  Two great reasons to buy a book this week!

The fair is open to the public Wednesday September 14 6-8 PM. Interesting in volunteering? Contact schmidta  for more info.@ccrsb.ca

Student Shopping: Tuesday September 13 (class visits)

Every $10 in sales earns our school $6 in books for our library and classrooms. Help us reach our sales goal of $2100!
