GWSS 2ND ANNUAL BOOK SWAP!

Just in time for the holidays, all next week, December 8-12, bring in your gently used books.  For every book you bring in you will receive 1 ticket.  The following week, December 15-19, come back with your tickets and "shop" for books new to you!  1 Book = 1 ticket

We are looking for fiction, non-fiction, children's books in good condition -anything you think someone else would want to read.

Questions?

See us in the Library LC

Garth's Garden

On November 11, bring your change (and bills, too!) to leave in Garth's Garden.  Following each assembly, students will exiting past Garth's Garden.  Leave your poppy to make the garden grow, and toss in your donation.  All money goes toward a Juno Beach Centre Memorial Brick, a campaign begun by Garth Webb himself!

Author Don Aker visits GWSS!

On Monday, October 27, celebrated YA author Don Aker will be visiting the GW Library LC.  White Pine club members will be especially familiar with Don's nominated book: "Running on Empty" from last year's list.

Check out some great reads by Don in our library:

Want new books? Here's how YOU can help!

Every month in the Library LC, you will see flyers for the Scholastic TRC book orders.  Remember those from back in the day?  Well, now they have the Teen Readers Club.  The books are current, and the prices are better than the bookstore.

Even better, a portion of every dollar spent comes back to our Library LC in the form of coupons to spend on books from Scholastic.

How to order?

1. Come to the library and get a flyer to do your SHOPPING!
2. Bring your order form and a cheque made out to Scholastic Canada Ltd. (cheques only, please!)
3. Books typically arrive 5-7 days after they are ordered

Mrs. Rogers (seen below) can help you with anything academic, what to read, or any general questions!

P.S. You can take out a book right now, even if you don't have a student card!  Just bring in your timetable, and you are all set!
