Thanks! Thanks to our volunteers and other members of the Library Team

Thanks to our volunteers and other members of the Library Team. You serve the staff and students of the school in a vital way. We appreciate it very much!

On Wednesday the library shut down for lunch so the volunteers could attend the Volunteer Lunch & Christmas Party Extravaganza! We had festive gathering with a ton of tasty treats (Thanks to everyone who brought some, especially those who baked them themselves!)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on the Library Team.

Library Team Christmas Party!

All Library Team members are invited to a Volunteer Appreciation Lunch / Christmas Party on Wednesday, December 18. It will be a fun time to celebrate the Season and a chance for us to thank you for all your service to the students and staff of our school!

Attention all Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School STAFF:
You are invited to join us at lunch on Wednesday, November 11 for a meeting of the School Library Learning Commons Committee.

The School Library Learning Commons belongs to everyone in our school community, including you. We need the input, ideas and direction of teachers from all over the building, across the curriculum and representing every grade. Please consider joining us next Wednesday.

For more information, please get in touch with the Teacher Librarian.

Take Your Kids to Work Day

Thanks to all the kids who came to work in the library on “Take Your Kids to Work Day.” While most of them will spend the rest of their lives remembering this great day, and will yearn for another chance, sadly most of them will never work in a library again. Cherish the memories!

One of these kids belongs to the Teacher Librarian. The others just wanted to be here because whatever their parents do clearly pales in comparison to the mighty work of the Teacher Librarian! Not to mention the chance to spend a day with Buck the Library Duck.

The happy news is that students at LTS can join the Library Team for the chance to volunteer in the school library on a regular shift! Check out our library team page and fill out our online application.

Not Just a Place…

On School Library Day, it is important to remember that the School Library is not just a place. More importantly, it is the people who are a part of the School Library who give it life. Everyone who works in the school library, in the physical space, or online, contributes to the vital role of the school library in education.

Thanks to Mia MacMeekin for this wonderful infographic on the role of the Teacher Librarian (left). Every school needs a Teacher Librarian working with the students, staff, administration, parents and other stakeholders in the success of a school library program. Without a Teacher Librarian, a school library is just another room after all.
