Thank you to those students and staff who bought items from NGDHS's Scholastic Book Fair.

Congratulations to our eight Book Draw winners.

 Books are here!!! 

Join the Forest of Reading® Club for your chance to vote for Canada's 2012 White Pine winner.

The books have arrived and are begging to be signed out. 

Check out the bulletin board in the Library for book selections and summaries.  Fiction and Non-fiction.  Rate the books and share your opinions with your fellow students.

Official voting takes place in April.  There are separate votes for fiction and non-fiction categories.  To qualify you must read a minimum of 5 books from the category.

See Mrs. Cornelisse in the Library for more information.

Learning Commons Rules 

The Learning Commons is a shared environment for students wishing to sign out library books, read, study, access computers and participate in class work and discussions.  It consists of the Library, Computers, and study areas. You are asked to be respectful of all students and keep noise levels at a reasonable volume.

Eating and drinking are not permitted at the computers; however, you may do so at the tables.  This is a privilege so remember to clean up after yourself.  Garbage cans and recycle bins are available for your use.

Students may sign out up to three books for a period of three weeks.  Books may be renewed as often as necessary.  There are no overdue fines; however, payment for or replacement of books that are lost or damaged beyond repair would be appreciated.  Please remember that all books signed out under a student's name will remain on their UCDSB library record until the books are either returned or losses have been cleared.
