Library News, Nov., 2012



Congratulations everyone, we surpassed our $2000 Book Fair goal and made $2307 up just over $250 from last year – fantastic!  That means Parkview Library had $1100 to spend on Scholastic items.

Many of your “favs” are being catalogued as you read!

Thanks to students, staff, and parent Angie V for your help: in particular Jordann was at the Book Fair almost as much as the books.  This generous student even came in 3 hrs on the weekend to help set up.  Thanks for filling the library bucket so generously!


Book Fair Family Event - Wed evening we tried a Book Swap: bring a gently used book take some books!  What a success.  Thanks to families for your generous donations and participating in this great event - let's make it an anual event with our book fair.  Thanks also to Ms. Truscott and husband Mr. Hilton for serving hotdogs and hot chocolate - yum.

Our library’s next event is Red Cedar Book Awards.  Participating grade 4-7 students read a min. of 5 books of fiction &/or 5 books of non-fiction before the spring and then vote on their favourites.  Ms. M is busy ordering these scrumptious Canadian books.
