The province-wide results for both clubs will be announced on May 21st by the Ontario Library Association.

Thank You to all our Staff volunteers who read books and talked to our students about them over lunch this semester!

Fav book so far

My favourite book so far would have to be Warrior's Daughter. I love the Celtic history and struggles that Luaine went through. My favourite chapters would have to be the epilogue and the one where she stands up to the king [I forget which one that was]. I would reccomend this book to all lovers of ancient history and customs.

Warrior's Daughter has my vote for the poll. I hope it wins!! :)

Sincerely,
Charlie-girl
