The Confederation Park Library

My name is Ms. Besic and I am pleased to be your new Teacher-Librarian!

This is friendly reminder that we are still missing a fair amount books from last year! If you could look around your house for any library books it would be much appreciated. We would be happy to get them back for other readers to enjoy. If you are not sure, students can inquire with me the next time they visit the library, or send an email to maira.besic@burnabyschools.ca

Happy reading

Ms. Besic

Hello UHE students!

It is time to start returning your library books back to school!  Please return your books to the brown paper box located at the front doors of the building, by June 22.  Books can be returned during school hours from 9am- 3pm, or to your classroom teacher (if you are attending school). It would be helpful to put your library book in a plastic or paper bag. If you have any further questions please email, Ms.Besic.

June is adopt-a-cat  month! Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, adoptions are not possible from most shelters. Consider making a small donation to a local animal shelter to help feed the pets waiting for new homes! Then, go to TumbleBooks and check out this hilarious story of Frank & Laverne, a dog and cat stuck living together…there are TWO versions- one from each pet!! (As a cat person, I must side with Laverne!)
