Apologies to those of you who came for Lucas’s presentation on “Know Your Rights”… and thank you for bearing with us while we got things sorted out.
Due to what ended up as the very truncated nature of the presentation, we will be looking to do a repeat performance another day in the next couple of weeks if we can find a mutually agreeable date.
Stay tuned…
The Library will be closed after school today, on account of a meeting.
The winners have been announced, at the annual Festival of Trees… Learn more about the Forest, the Festival, and the books here.
The winners are:
As some of you have already noticed, Ms. Wray is in the building. The Digital Lead Learner day was cancelled on account of the elementary panel work to rule, so the Library is open regular hours today.
The Library will be open late, and closed after school – as announced yesterday morning – as I am out of the school at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival Librarian and Educator Day for the day today (how many times can you get “day” into a single sentence!!!???)
Have a great weekend.
As part of our on-going involvement with the Wellness Initiatives at ESA, the Library will be participating in Turn Off Your Sites.
Congratulations to those of you – numbering well over 200 as of the end of the lunchhour on Monday, May 4th – who have made the pledge to Turn Off Your Sites for 24 hours.
The Library will be a Tech-free zone during the lunchhour tomorrow. We’ll have cards, chess, and other games to keep you entertained. And don’t forget, of course, about the great selection of reading materials to be found in the Library.
If you haven’t already seen it, check out the “trailer” for Turn Off Your Sites.
Advance Notice
NEW Library Circulation Protocols
Effective Sept 8th, 2015
All Library loans will be subject to overdue fines as of Sept 8th, 2015.
Fines will accumulate at the rate of 10 cents per day per overdue item.
Students with overdue items and/or outstanding fines will not be able to sign out any additional Library items until accounts are cleared.
If you need an item longer than the loan period, bring it in to renew it.
Most items may be renewed twice.
Lost items will be charged full replacement costs, plus a handling fee.
All circulating Library materials are due back by the end of the day on Thursday May 28th. As noted on the posters around the Library…
Please return Library items promptly… avoid us having to make that dreaded phone call home to chase your outstanding items.
Read the article posted at The Toronto Star. I grew up reading Ruth Rendell… a good mystery was always a good pick for a sunny day on the dock at the cottage.
