International School Library Month

October is International School Library Month 2011.  Although October is coming to a close it is not too late to celebrate the school library, the school librarian and their important contribution to learning within the school environment.  Further information may be gained at this link - International School Library Month

 

In recognition of, and as part of International School Library Month, CCRSB has initiated a new project - The CCRSB Teen Reader's Choice Award. This award, CCRSB's first student driven book award is being facilitated by CCRSB Library Services. Interested students in grades 7-12 will be invited to nominate their favorite book for the award regardless of genre, publication date, origin or format.  The award committee will consider all nominations to create a shortlist of ten books, which will then be made available in each participating CCRSB school library.  Students will be encouraged to read the top ten books and discuss them with their peers both in school and online.  Students will then vote for their choice from the top ten books. All voters will then be invited to an awards ceremony, at which time the winning book will be announced.  For nomination information please contact your school librarian.
