Welcome Back!

Where did the summer go?

Welcome back everyone! Now’s the time to come in and check out a new read. The selection is at its best and there are new titles to choose from. Have a look at our displays.

What did you read over the summer?

I got lost in “Sweden” with writer Henning Mankell and his Kurt Wallander thrillers. Thanks to Mr. Royer for sharing these books with me. Whenever it got too hot outside I could disappear into one of the dark, brooding novels. There’s nothing like a good mystery to get you thinking. I can’t believe I’m actually reading my 9th title!

Looking for something in particular?

Don’t forget you can request titles and I’ll do my best to get them for you. I like to keep up with all the exciting new authors and books. Please let me know what you’d like to see in the collection.

It’s exam time!

Good luck to everyone as they write their final exams this week.

The library will stay open until Thursday at noon. After that we’ll be closed so we can do an inventory.

All resources are now overdue!! Please return your items so you don’t get an invoice instead of the report card next week.

I’m sorry I took so long to pick this up and read it. I haven’t enjoyed a book as much I enjoyed this one in a long time. It was a great choice for a “Canada Reads” title and certainly deserved to win the Governor General’s Award. 1945?! Hard to believe. This one is timeless.

Game on! C’est parti!
