WELCOME!

Here we go...here we go!

Goals for the library this year are the following:

1) Foster a love for reading, expand reading capacities and repertoires.
2) Build upon your information technology skills.
3) Model and instill good digital citizenship.
4) Knock all the other schools in Peel off their socks for participation for the "Forest of Reading" Program.

And of course...hold contests...initiatives....all that other fun stuff!

Two of my favourite reads of the summer:

1) Loki's Wolves by Kelly Armstrong and Melissa Marr.

If you're a fan of Percy Jackson, you'll love this book. It's basically the same idea as the Percy Jackson and Kane Chronicle series, but with Norse Gods.
Thor, anyone? I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it.









2) Rush by Eve Silver

Ever wish you were in a real life video game? (Sadly, not for me) Well, this is what Miki Jones finds herself in. She "dies" saving a young girl almost getting hit by a truck....wakes up and finds herself transported into a real life video game scenario fighting aliens that want to take over the world. Except she really isn't dead...once she completes her "mission" she's sent back to REAL Earth to live her life until she needs to complete another "mission". Of course there's a love interest, but it's tolerable. No "make me puke" romance like I AM NUMBER FOUR or TWILIGHT.




Well, that's all for today...until next week!
