Our library is almost ready to be 'back in business' and we couldn't be more excited. Tackling a library facelift is a little more complicated than it may appear. It is not a question of just taking the books out, setting up new furniture and returning the books to the shelves. It is a wonderful opportunity to thin out the books, removing those that are out of date or have not been taken out by students and staff in years. In other words, it is a chance to update our collection. I know it has taken quite some time to get the library back up and running but it is almost ready to go. In fact, November 15th will be the first day our students will be welcomed back into a 'newish', updated, beautiful space.
We could not have done this without the commitment and dedication of many of our educational assistants, thank you. Additionally, to the grade 7 and 9 students who so quickly dismantled an enormous library in a matter of an hour. Also, a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Noga, who saw the library she has worked in for years become an empty space while the learning commons grew a mountain of books. She has worked long and hard to get our library back up and running while continuing to ensure our students have access to some great books on a weekly basis.
