HAPPY HOLIDAYS OKM

LITERATE LEADERS OF THE PACK!

Make sure to sign out some great books for your holiday reading.

Alpha huskies love BOOKS!

NEED KNOWS NO SEASON

Check out the display near the entrance of our library. New books are being added regularly! Our display for the holiday season includes books about world issues and ways to make a difference, as we head into 2009.

Don’t forget to also check the carousel for high demand new releases! You can also find out about new arrivals in the library by visiting the BOOKTALK page of our website, http://www3.okm.sd23.bc.ca/library/index-4.html

***Please remember that you must have your student ID card with you at school to sign out library books and other resources. Keep your card in a safe place. Replacements can be ordered, but they will cost $5.00 each. They will be made of sturdy card instead of plastic.

*The OKM BOOK CLUB will be meeting on Tuesday December 2nd after school in the library. We are currently reading Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.
New members and visitors are always welcome!

***CHRISTMAS READING*** All library books signed out after December 8th will have an extended loan period. They will be due the first day back after the holidays. Please make sure you select your books early so you can get what you want!

NOVEMBER IN THE OKM LIBRARY

Check out the new library entrance display for November. We are featuring books related to Remembrance Day.




You will find selections of war poetry, holocaust fiction, memoirs, and a fascinating selection of books about war and peace.

"Lest we forget."

ALSO THIS MONTH- Check out the new book displays. Thanks to the generous support of our parent advisory council, we were able to order some new popular books selected from our lists of student and teacher requests! The PAC has also provided support for a very special author visit during Education Week, coming up in March!

DROP EVERYTHING AND READ! Monday October 27th

OKM Secondary School
October 27th, 2008


Monday, October 27th, is NATIONAL SCHOOL LIBRARY DAY! In Canadian Library Month we celebrate the theme:
Your Library, Your World/ Votre Bibliothèque, Votre Univers.

First proclaimed in 2003, National School Library Day is part of a wide initiative by many groups aimed at raising awareness about the critical role of school libraries. Across the country, school staff will be celebrating excellence in school library programs.
At OKM the school library will be taking part in National School Library Day celebrations by joining people across British Columbia to DROP EVERYTHING AND READ for twenty minutes starting at 11:00 am. Parents and all members of the public are invited to join us for DEAR on Monday!
For more information, contact: Ms. Neilson in the OKM library.

Welcome to a new school year at OKM!

Our library is under construction during the month of September. When you can't come to us, we will try to bring our services to you.

This blog is part of new online tools that we will use to build our Library 2.0 services.

WELCOME!

Welcome to a new year at OKM. After our summer construction, we are now reorganizing. The library will open soon!
