Library Blog

Welcome Back!

While you were on summer vacation, the library gremlins and I (well, mostly I) were hard at work updating your new library space. Yes, there are new books. Yes, there really are gremlins in the library, but you need to have library powers to see them.

Did you get any new books?!

I'm always working on new books! Sometimes I get a big order that takes me a while to finish cataloguing. But once these books are catalogued, they're ready to borrow. Here's a sneak preview of some new titles that anyone can borrow.


What's On The Shelf?!

For the rest of the month, we're looking for Black Excellence in our library. I guarantee you've read some of these titles before:
Patina 

The Hate U Give 

I Am Enough 

Hair Love 

Not Quite Snow White 

Clean Getaway 

Shuri 

Frizzy 

The Tyrell Show 

Comfort Reads

What is a comfort read? A lot of people read the same books over and over again. It's like wearing a favourite cosy sweater, or listening to your favourite song on repeat. These books are called "comfort reads" because they're like that sweater or song. I think comfort reads are like friends; they provide guidance and wisdom. Sometimes you can get something new from a book even if you've read it many times. It doesn't matter who the book is "for", because books are for everyone and anyone can find a book comforting. These are some examples of books I find comforting to read. They're picture books, graphic novels, even a book about environmentalism. All of them provided me with comfort and positive feelings, especially when I was feeling down. What books are comforting to you?

Brain Food

Once you're done giggling, did you know that these Yellow Cedar titles are all the best Canadian non-fiction nominated by YOU, the reader? Non-fiction, true stories, are like food for your brain. If you read these titles and like what you've learned, you'll get a chance to vote for the winner - and they get a prize.  So don't be afraid to feed your brain. Or at least enjoy having a book about boobies. 

New Books (Again)

Yes, you read that right; we have new books in the display case. What are you looking for: retro romance, colourful graphic novel, inspiring true story? Check out the library display case across from the gym. You will not be disappointed!
