Burnaby North Library

Learn to make your own pin-back buttons. In the library at lunch on Friday, December 13th. We’ll provide the button-making supplies, you just need to bring pictures to put in them, or you can print something out or cut out a picture from an old magazine or comic.

Our button-maker can make three different sizes, so pick an image that will fit inside a circle that is one of these sizes: 58mm. 32mm, 25mm.

You can bring your lunch to eat while you work.

Here are some instructions on how to use a button-maker like ours

There have been some changes in the Library over the summer.  Many of our desktop computers have been replaced with Laptops (in our cart).  There are also many more laptop carts throughout the school, so Library laptops will not be signed out to classrooms except in special circumstances.  We are still awaiting new shelving units for our Non-Fiction collection, but they are browsable on the black carts.

We’d also like to welcome Mr. Saggu to our Library staff.  He will be working with us on block 7 (for 1/2 a block, schedule TBD).

Watch here and in the Student Bulletin for information about joining the Library Club.  We’re always looking for members committed to making our Library the best it can be.  If you were a member last year and would like to help out before we schedule shifts for this year’s members, please come speak with us.

Book circulation will be available as soon as possible, but we will be open Sept. 4 for at least individual study in the first week of school.  The puzzle & colouring tables will be open on Wednesday, Sept. 4.

The Chard microgreens can either start to be harvested in about three weeks to get microgreens, or you can grow them longer to get actual Swiss Chard plants to eat later.
