Library Closed on Lunch Break

 

Due to new Covid protocols, our library will remain closed during lunch breaks. To borrow library material, students must accompany their class during a scheduled period. Please return any library books as soon as you are finished with them. The safest place is to place them in the book return outside the library door. Remember, in order to borrow another book, you must return the book you borrowed. 

For the remainder of December there is going to be a theme for particular days in the library. During the grade 5/6 lunch break the following is available to you.

Wednesdays - Board Games

Thursdays - Minecraft (BYOD) 

 

Fridays - Reading, writing and drawing
