Welcome Back!

Posted on September 3, 2013 by

The Library Staff hopes everyone had a wonderful summer. We sure did! One of us traveled afar whereas the rest enjoyed the beautiful BC sunshine. Of course, we also read whenever the great weather didn’t distract us. Here’s just a few of our favourite summer reads:

Someone Else’s Life by Katie Dale

Ten by Gretchen McNeil
My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher
Erebos by Ursula Poznanski
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

What were your favourite summer titles? Did you read mostly fiction, non-fiction, or magazine? Let us know!

books Please return all library books, magazines, and DVDs. Library overdue notices were distributed during your Period 1 classes so please ask your teacher or check with the library if you suspect you should have received one. Have a library book but didn’t get a notice? Bring it back (it makes for good karma).
