October is Canadian Library Month. Here in Burnaby, we have such great libraries. For many of us, Cameron is our neighbourhood public library. How many of you remember story time (Little, Middle, Big Bears) with Barbara? And then, when you entered elementary school, finding out she had a last name too – Mrs. Fancy?
And Burnaby School District is so supportive of school libraries. We are one of the only districts in the province where every school still has a teacher-librarian and all the secondary schools have full-time teacher-librarians. I’m also able to purchase new books through the year and online resources because of the District’s support.
So celebrate – because life would be pretty barren (and a lot more expensive) without our public and school libraries!
