The Solar Eclipse is Monday April 8 ! Check out this resource guide by TDSB Professional Library.


The month of April is proudly recognized as Latin–America History Month at the Toronto District School Board. This year the focus and theme of 2024 is: "Weaving Our Legacies: Return to Our Collective Path | Enlazar Nuestres Legados: Volver a Nuestre Camino Colectivo."   

Please see our Sikh Heritage Month resource document for more support.

This year’s the Sikh Heritage Month’s theme is Chardi Kala (The Positive and Uplifted State of Mind). According to Sikh beliefs, Chardi Kala is a state of mind that radiates positive energy, optimistic attitude, strong confidence, and virtuosity. With true belief in the supreme power of the Almighty and the oneness of humanity, this state of mind can pave a way for the well-being and happiness of all. 

Join educator and Bibliovideo Digital Media Coordinator Spencer Miller for an interview with David A. Robertson about his new middle grade book, The Kodiaks: Home Ice Advantage. Hockey fans will love this action-packed middle grade novel about teamwork, overcoming adversity, and being proud of who you are and where you come from.

Reading is good for you!
