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.
Good Morning Readers!
I was just informed that the Burnaby Public Library is offering a take-out service for its patrons. You are now able to place an order for pick up, along with receive services from a librarians that will pair you up with books you will love! This is a great opportunity to finally get your hands on some books and continue reading throughout the summer!
The following link answers any other questions and explains how to order your items.

Welcome to the new online library site. I hope you all have started to settle into the new way of being at school.
Attention all graphic novel fans! Victoria Jamieson, author of Roller Girl, will be speaking in Vancouver on May 12. Visit the Kidsbooks website to get your tickets to the event!
Tumblebooks has given Burnaby schools access to their library, for free for the rest of this school year! You can find books online which will appeal to all grades and ages: graphic novels, ebooks, fiction, non-fiction, and picture books. I especially like the feature that will read picture books aloud, great when you have a few minutes to fill waiting for an appointment or a bus. Students can access them at school by clicking on this icon
on the school website. To access from home you will need to log in, just email Mrs. MacLeod to get the user name and password.
The home reading club has started again at University Highlands. The goal this year is to read at home for 250 days! You will need to read almost every day between now and June to reach 250. You will still be able to finish if you miss a few days here and there, but try to read every day. Pink sheets were sent out this week or last week, and you can start recording your reading from October 1st.
We had a great book fair last week. Our goal was to make $2000 in sales, and we surpassed that by a ton. The grand total in sales was $2996.95! Thank you to everyone who came shopping to support our library. I’d also like to thank the dedicated parent and student volunteers who helped at the book fair, I couldn’t have done it without them! The library kept $481 in books and still has $238 left to spend on books in the future.
I’m looking forward to seeing all the classes in the library this week for a regular visit. Some students may even get to borrow one of the brand new books!
I am so excited to begin a new school year at UHE! We will be starting the fun early in the library with a book fair next week. Come visit during intake interviews next week. The book fair will be open at the following times
I’ve had a sneak peak at some of the books which will be coming, and they look good! If you’d like to see some of the books I read over the summer, you can visit my own blog at mscollinslovesbooks.com
Tumblebooks is a collection of online ebooks, and they are offering free access to a different ebook every day. Check back daily to see the latest selection, and don’t forget to join the summer reading club at the Burnaby Public Library!
Division 1 and 2 are very excited about Battle of the Books! In this team competition students try to remember in which book various events happened. The teams got together yesterday and everyone left with at least one book to read over the break. Some people were keen to try to borrow more from the public library, so here is the list for you:
Happy reading!
