Best Things about our School Library

The best thing about our Education Library is that the library's program is integrated into the the Faculty of Education's Teacher Education program and I have the opportunity to collaboratively teach and plan with our faculty, student teachers and other teacher-librarians.

My Hopes & Dreams for our School Library

My greatest hope is that multimedia pedagogy will involve students in becoming lifelong readers and critical information consumers with a passion and commitment to the role libraries play in learning and in developing caring equitable communities.
