January is Science Fiction month at your School Library. We asked teachers at LTS to share some of their favourite sci-fi titles.
Teachers Read Sci-Fi
Category: Books
A Favourite Book
What is one of your favourite books? That is the question we asked teachers and other staff at Lord Tweedsmuir.
The response was excellent. There are some pretty cool books that were brought up. Ms. Perez loves Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. If you haven’t read it, maybe you should check it out. (We have it here in the school library for you to borrow.)
We’ve asked the adults in the building. How about the students? What are some of your favourite books?
Look for more examples of favourite books in the coming weeks.
Hugo and Nebula Winners

Book Spotlight: Earth Day
Come down to your School Library to find out more about Earth Day and all the issues that we face in terms of protecting life on this planet.
If you are looking for a quick introduction to the scientific understanding of the issues of climate change, this is a great place to start: This is Climate Change: A Visual Guide to the Facts: See for Yourself How the Planet is Warming and What it Means for Us, by David Nelles & Christian Serrer.
What they (the authors) were hoping to find was a book that explained the nuts and bolts of climate change and presented the scientific evidence in a way that was concise and enjoyable to read. After a long and fruitless search, they eventually gave up and instead decided to write it themselves.
