October 25th, 2021 is BC School Library Day - a day that we can celebrate books, literacy, and learning how to read! ALL across British Columbia, and Westmount, students like to Drop Everything And Read!! Welcome back to a new school year, and a new year of Battle of the Books!
Here are the new lists of the books chosen for this year's Battle! A few classes from Westmount had the wonderful privilege of meeting via Zoom a very popular Canadian author, Kevin Sylvester! Kevin entertained us with his humour, and even provided some helpful tips on how to bring our drawings to a new level! If you are interested in reading some of Kevin Sylvester's books, we have many of them in our library to check out! Some of Kevin's books we have in our library! More still to come!
We were very excited to have some Painted Lady Butterflies housed in the library for a few weeks until they emerged! Many students enjoyed watching them develop through their stages, until finally Mrs. Svenson's class assisted in finally releasing them!
