Our goal is to support the success of our students, to promote a life-long enjoyment of reading, and to provide knowledge building experiences with 24/7 access to information in a welcoming environment that is conducive to learning.
We strive to achieve this goal through attention to Equity, Well Being and Achievement.
This week's virtual library tip - An encyclopedia is a good place to start to gain an overview of any topic. You will also find related videos, articles and websites to extend your learning.
World Read Aloud Day was February 7
Keep on reading aloud! We have wonderful novels, poetry collections and picture books for you to choose from. How does reading aloud help students to develop literacy skills?

Written by secondary school teacher Spencer Miller
TDSB’s Chinese Heritage Month is proudly recognized in February each year. This year we celebrate the Year of the Dragon: Majesty, Brilliance, Confidence, Leadership. For more resources please check our Chinese Heritage Month resource document.
Every February, people across Canada participate in Black History Month events and festivities that honour the legacy of Black people in Canada and their communities.
The 2024 theme for Black History Month is: “Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build”. This theme celebrates the rich past and present contributions and accomplishments of Black people in Canada, while aspiring to embrace new opportunities for the future.
Please see our resource document African Heritage Month for more support.
We hope this newsletter will be a support to you as we read, research, and learn together at Lawrence Park C.I. Library Learning Commons.
Happy Chinese New Year
