ÉCOLE BRAEMAR ELEMENTARY LIBRARY/BIBLIOTHÈQUE
September 14, 2020
Welcome back Braemar students and parents! I hope you all had a fabulous summer. This year the Braemar Library will be up and running but things will be different. The library space is closed so I will be delivering a travelling library program. I am looking forward to introducing books and to teaching lessons in classrooms. At this time, I will be bringing a bin of books to teachers that can be used in the classroom. Individual students are not able to sign out books right now but I will let you know as soon as this changes. In June many books were not returned and are overdue. If you still have a Braemar library book at home, please return it to your classroom teacher who will deliver it to me. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at lross@sd44.ca. Warm regards, Mrs. Ross |
