THE OKM LIBRARY NEWS BLOG IS BACK! Sorry we missed updates in September when Ms. Neilson was away, but everything is back on track just in time for Canadian Library Month.

October 2012 is Library Month.
Today was National School Library Day.

At OKM at 11:00 a.m. students and staff joined people from all across British Columbia to DROP EVERYTHING AND READ! 

If you are ready for a new book, don't forget to check the BOOKS page on our library website to see what is new. You can also check our PAW PRINTS book review blog to see what other students have recommended. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

See you back at OKM in September!

Don't forget to visit your local public library during the holidays : )
