Ms. Robinson's
Pages
Hi Everyone
I am Ms. Robinson (aka Ms. R.), and I am the Library Technician at Park Dale P.S.(days 2 &4) and Prince of Wales P.S. (days 1, 3, & 5). I invite you to join me in the library/learning commons on your scheduled library days, as well as for open circulation, and to watch for lots of fun ways to engage in the love of learning and of course BOOKS!!!!
You are welcome on your good, and not so good days. Come as you are and be prepared to find what you need....Books for an assignment or just for enjoyment, a quiet spot to reset and refresh for the rest of the day.....a place to discover new things about the world around you & where you fit in it. This is your library.... Share your wishes, dreams and wonderings, and remember we are all here to ask the big questions and learn from and with each other.
I welcome your comments and questions. Email: acrobinson@apps.hpedsb.on.ca
