THE HUB NEWSLETTER
WELCOME TO THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE
| |
Dear ASP community,
Mr. Tremblay and I welcome you to the Sawiris Family library with the first issue of The Hub, our monthly newsletter.
We've made a few changes to the layout this year. To access the list of our new additions of the month, read about our Book Club activities and access our Book Highlights click on the appropriate red buttons below. We hope these changes make your experience more enjoyable and the newsletter easier to read.
If you're a new parent, I will be presenting briefly at the Living Skills seminar on September 18 where I'll be introducing our resources and services.
We hope you make it a habit to read The Hub every month as it is our preferred way of keeping you informed of the library's resources, programs and activities. Feel free to share with us your ideas, book recommendations and comments.
The library hours, our contact information and the link to our web site are listed at the bottom of the newsletter.
Have a great year!
Mario Chioini
8-12 Librarian

COLLABORATION
During the first semester, all GAPS 9 and 10 students will work on a unit of study involving research and a presentation. The classroom-library collaboration is an important step toward the reinforcement of information literacy skills. Collaboration is also being planned with different grade 7 and 8 classes.

RESOURCE HIGHLIGHT

The library is now subscribing to the Modern World History database from Infobase. This resource provides excellent background information such as encyclopaedic articles, primary sources, videos, maps and charts on topics and eras from 1450 to the present.
