White Pine Meeting Wednesday March 21

Beginning of P3 in the seminar room....snacks and discussion....See you there!

Kobo Ereaders in the Library!

Beginning this week, Aldershot Students from Grades 9-12 can borrow Kobo touch ereaders!  The loan period will be 7 or 14 days -the same options that you are given on the ebooks in the HDSB collection.

Don't know how to use it?  No problem. (as ALF would say)  See Mrs. Rogers in the library, and she can help you get the book you want on the Kobo ready to go.

GNC is coming....

Do you LOVE graphic novels?  Stay up all night reading Naruto?  Hide out by the mailbox waiting for Shonen Jump?

You are not alone!  

Beginning in March, the library will be hosting a Graphic Novel Club (GNC).  The club will be open to Grades 7-12 and will run on first elementary break and Period 3 lunch.  Games, drawing, and shopping for the library will be on the agenda.  

Any questions?  See Mrs. Rogers in the library.  Or just show up at our first meeting.  Listen to the announcements and watch this space for the date.

All Books Due January 23!

Bookman the Library Cop is Back!

Please return all books by January 23.  This is the HDSB cut-off date for Semester 1 circulation.  Please clear all fines by this date also.

Our Library is a Vibrant, Living Organism!

Just like a plant or animal, our library needs to be fed and watered -except that OUR food and water are the materials that make up our collection. Please feed our library and return all overdue books and pay your fines promptly.

Keep our library thriving! Return all materials!

HDSB Ebook and Audiobook Collection
