Scholastic Book Fair -- Monday, October 24 - Friday, October 28

Welcome to the CRB Library

My name is Heather Perrino and I am excited to be the new teacher librarian at CRB. Although I am new to the role, I am not new to CRB. This is my 5th year as a member of the CRB staff.

The CRB Library strives to offer a vibrant collection that engages all of our readers. Our library collection houses materials for curriculum work and recreational reading. The books found in the library include picture books, beginner chapter books, chapter books, non-fiction books, reference, comic books and graphic novels. Our collection also includes many Canadian authors selected in the annual Forest of Reading competitions organized by the Ontario Library Association.

The goal of the library is to ensure all students and staff members are effective users of ideas and information so that they become life-long learners. As well as, provide students with an environment that supports and encourages all students to read. These goals will be accomplished by:

· providing access to materials in all formats.

· providing instruction that allows all students to achieve success.

· motivating interest in reading, viewing and using information and ideas in various formats.

· working collaboratively with staff to design strategies to the meet the individual needs of all students.
