Renewals and Overdue Books 

Students are welcome to renew their library books.  Books must be brought to the Library to be renewed.  After 10 days, books become overdue.  Once a book is overdue, students are not able to take out any books until the overdue item is returned. 

Lost and Damaged Books

Students are expected to pay for lost or damaged books.  Overdue books are considered lost after 4 weeks.  Until a lost item is paid for, students are not able to take out any books.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Librarian.

Watch our for dragons!  The students have been busy learning about dragons.  Dragons are mythical creatures that are featured in legends around the world.  This week we focused on European and Asian dragons.

Did you know that dragons can live anywhere?

Did you know that dragons can be as small as a flea?

Did you know that Asian dragons are wingless and fly by magic?

Have a look at this featurette: How to Train Your Dragon.

British author Cressida Cowell's series, How to Train Your Dragon, features the adventures of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the ten-year-old son of a Viking chief, who must capture a dragon.  The first book was made into a movie in 2010.  Have you seen it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHUhygdAZIw

We continue to add new books to our collection each week. Early primary students will be interested in our twenty new Clifford books as well as the addition of the popular "Little Critter" series by Mercer Mayer.

The new Sponge Bob books are student favourites!

Library Lindsay's favourite: 

I still love Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh. Published in 1964, this award winning novel continues to captivate its readers!

"Harriet is determined to become a famous author. In the meantime, she practices by following a regular spy route each day and writing down everything she sees in her secret notebook. Her life is turned upside down when her classmates find her notebook and read it aloud!" - Amazon.ca
