All current gr. 8-11 students will select a book to read over the summer in preparation for a discussion led by staff or sr. students one afternoon in early September. This list of books offers lots of variety for you to choose from! If you are looking for additional books to read over the summer, why not read a few from the list?
Sign-up took place from May 31-June 3. For those who signed up on the Google Form, I did my best to place you in your first or second choice. If you didn't sign up prior to the closing date, I placed you in a group. If you want to change from your current group, you need to come to the Learning Commons before noon on Tuesday, June 15 and cross your name off the list on the bulletin board and write your name on the book choice you prefer, as long as space is still available. Please note, several book groups are FULL and are not available as a choice.

Here is a fun little rap to reminisce on some of the childhood classics. How many titles can you hear in the rap?
Faculty will be wearing black shirts on Jan. 14 & 15 to commemorate the ongoing struggle for civil and human rights fought by Black and racialized Canadians.
The Learning Commons has many excellent fiction and non-fiction books that highlight this issue in powerful ways. Check out the display in the Learning Commons or the Resource List on the STMC Library Catalog.
