Welcome to our new way of being at school together.  I hope that you and your families were able to do some new activities while keeping safe and healthy over the break.
Of course I hope that you were reading over the break!!

I’m sad that we aren’t checking out books from our library now, but there are still ways to be reading and enjoying books:

If you borrowed library books then it’s time to reread them, talk about them with the people in your house, read your brother or sister’s books (yes Intermediates, even the picture books :-))

Looking for some new books?  There are lots of places online to find audio or ebooks:

Burnaby Public Library: though the library is closed they are still offering library services.  From their webpage (https://www.bpl.bc.ca/):

                  Hey Burnaby: don’t have a library card? Our branches are closed, but you can                        now call us at 604-436-5400 and get one for free!

How about watching some Canadian authors reading their books?  There are authors for old and young here: Canadian Authors

Remember to not only Read, Read, Read, but talk, write and draw about stories.

Missing you,
Ms Carson

Students are able to borrow library books over the Spring Break.  We ask that they don’t take their library books with them if they are going away.

Be sure to Read, Read, Read and check off your Reading Club form!! The next, and last form, begins on Thursday April 2nd.

Have a great Break,
Ms Carson

Yay, we are into our second week of our regular library schedule!!  Please see the schedule page to see when your library time is.

Please bring back your library book before or on your library day.  If you want to renew a library book please bring it on your library day.

Students may also exchange books at recess (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday) or after school (Tuesday, Friday).

Thank you,
Ms Carson

Thank you Buckingham readers for a great year in library.  Congratulations to all of those folks who completed their 200 Nights of Reading.  Your dedicated book will be waiting in the library for you in September.

Reminder to sign up for the Summer Reading Club at any public library in British Columbia.  For more information check out this page at the Burnaby Public Library https://www.bpl.bc.ca/kids/kids-events-and-programs/summer-reading-club

Have a great summer full of great books. See you in September.

Ms Carson

Wow – it’s that time of year already!! Please bring back your library books this week so that we can complete the year-end clean up. We also need to pack up many of the books because of the painting work in the library this month.

If everyone in a class brings their books back on their library day, there will be a prize for that class.

Thank you,
Ms Carson

In our final week of library we enjoyed the classic story The Night Before Christmas done up as a spectacular picture book by Robert Sabuda.

Thank you to all the students who returned their books for the holidays. Be sure to visit the public library over the holiday.

Happy Holidays
Ms Carson

Thank you Buckingham shoppers for helping to make our book fair a great success. Sales were higher than previous years so we will be able to purchase even more books for our library.

Happy Reading
Ms Carson

The Scholastic Book Fair will be in our library next week – November 21, 22 & 23.
Come and do your holiday shopping and support our school library.

See you there!!!

We now have our regular library schedule worked out (see the Library Schedule time for when your class comes to library).

Oh no, what happens if you forget a book or your library bag? You can put the book on my hold shelf and come in the next day the library is open. There are several times that students can visit the library in addition to their regular library time:

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday – 9:00 – 9:15 (if their teacher permits)
10:30 – 10:45 (recess)

Tuesday & Friday – 3:00 – 3:15

Happy Reading!!!
Ms Carson

Welcome back everyone.  Hope that you had a great summer and enjoy lots of great books.  I’m looking forward to seeing you in library this week.  Did you participate in the Summer Reading Club at the public library?

Read On!!
