\"\"Please return your library books to the school! You will not need to enter the building. Just place your library books in the box labelled “library books” at the front entrance of the school, then ring the doorbell. Someone will come and collect the books. We are answering the doorbell May 26 – June 5 (closed weekends), 8:00 am – 3:30 pm.<\/p>\n

If you would like to know the titles of the books that need to be returned, please email\u00a0allyson.yee@burnabyschools.ca<\/a>. Don’t forget to include your child’s name and division.<\/p>\n

Do you miss going to our school Library? I sure do!<\/h3>\n

I’m sorry to say that Morley’s library will stay closed for the month of June, I will only be in there to scan and shelve returned books.<\/p>\n

With both school and public libraries closed, we are reminded how lucky we are here in Burnaby, during normal times, with free access to so many books! There are millions of children around the world who do not have libraries in their neighborhoods or villages. Nor do they have access to online stories like we do.\u00a0 So in these unusual times with the libraries closed, let’s think about how we can be appreciative and creative about reading and sharing stories! This week’s read-aloud below shows a very interesting way of sharing library books, inspired by a true story from Columbia!<\/p>\n
