Come to the Library this Friday, May 11th at lunch in the Makerspace to learn how to make a hand-made card to celebrate the women who are special in your life.
Bring your lunch. All supplies will be provided and making the card should take about 15 minutes.
Some sample cards…
AP Exams begin Monday May 7th and many of them are written in the Library. As exams begin before school and don’t finish until 4pm, library hours will be very restricted. Students may return books during the book closure using the book drop slot in the door.
May 10/11 access to the Non-Fiction Section will be restricted, but most fiction, magazines, and DVD’s will be accessible. Regular sign-out, book return, and renewal services will be available.
Study block students can access the library only on May 10/11. Please go to the Cafeteria or Connect if you need space to work during the closure days.
Come join us in the Library at lunch, Wednesday April 4th for our Vikings Talk about George’s Secret Key to the Universe by Lucy and Stephen Hawking, The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Lu, and Take Me To Your Chief by Drew Hayden Taylor.
…but his books live on. We have lots of copies of George’s Secret Key to the Universe. Come sign one out for Spring Break and see why he is such a revered scientist and author. The book is also part of our next Vikings Talk meeting on April 4, 2018.

What do Harry Potter, Captain Underpants, and the dictionary all have in common? They’ve all been banned in various libraries and schools. This week is national Freedom to Read Week, which focuses on intellectual freedom, guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Freedom to Read Week does this by highlighting books that have been banned and challenged in various places. We have lots of books in our collection which have been challenged or banned in other places. Come see if you can figure out why they’ve been controversial. Maybe you’ll even find a banned book that you want to read.
For more information visit the Freedom to Read web site.
Here’s the complete list of books recommended at this year’s event. If we don’t already have a copy in the Library, we will soon. Come check them out!
