Courcelette's Library 2022

Welcome to

Ms. Robertson's Library News Site!

Check in (get it?) for information from me about Courcelette's amazing little library!


SPRING 2022 NOTES ~ Hello lovely community! It has been my pleasure teaching your amazing children in our library and computer lab for these past years - since 2004 at Courcelette PS! Please do your best to return all of our collection during the second week of June. Thank you for all of your warm wishes. I will come back to supply teach next year hopefully! See you cycling around the neighbourhood! Sincerely, Deneen Robertson

LIBRARY HELPERS - The LLC could not function this year without the help from the following amazing Junior team of helpers who have shelved and assisted in processing our new books: Vanessa, Maya, Isabelle and new additions: Nadia, Maxine, Portia and Giselle. Thank you so much team!

LIBRARY BOOKS - Some books are out in our community from 2019 and 2020... if I have passed along a title for your child to have a look for and you are not able to locate it ~ there's no problem. I will simply mark it as lost. If then it turns up later, you are always welcome to return it.

STUDENT CHOICE - I love student choice! I promote it wholeheartedly. Here is an article I came across of interest: Five Things NEVER to Say to Kids about Books and Reading Kimmie Fink Sept. 2021

PASSWORDS - Click on the Virtual Library to access loads of amazing vetted sites, resources, online books and more. You will be prompted to enter a password on several sites. To access these passwords when not at school click the password button is an orange circle titled 'passwords and info'. I'll try to see if I can order a bookmark copy for home use for the 2021-2022 school year.

We missed our Library and are so happy to be back!

We use our space for dance, health and wellness and - of course - some terrific reading and research.

Also - take note of many new books!


This is what I have been up to with my own personal reading!!!



I do try to read some of our new young adult fiction books so that I can recommend them. Bloom by Kenneth Oppel is out there... by that I mean far out creative.... Science Fiction/ dystopian....and very interesting. Kenneth Oppel is a favourite Canadian author who has been writing books since he was 14! I just purchased the sequel to Bloom - my bet is one of our students will read it before me! I do not 'Think Like A Monk' but wish I could sometimes - hence the self-help indulgence. And - oh my, Rupi Kaur is just well, poetic and raw... a young and talented Torontonian. The Maya Angelou read was a reread to remind myself of her brilliance over the summer.
