Welcome Back to School!


September promises to be an exciting month in the library.  I look forward to meeting the new students who have joined us in addition to seeing the friendly faces of our returning students.  The home reading program will start very shortly and the new nominees for the Surrey Book of the Year (SBOY) and the Surrey Picture Book of the Year (SPBOY) await the eyes and minds of our eager readers. 

In library classes, we will be focusing on learning or reviewing library routines for the first two weeks and then we will be focusing on the strategy of making connections to literature.  Our topics will include friendship, new relationships and empathy.


Please feel free to join your child in selecting books after school in the library.  The library is open after school until 3:15.

Library Hours

Students from Kindergarten through Grade 7 have one scheduled library period a week however are also welcome to exchange books after school. The library is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until 3:15. Parents are welcome to join their children in selecting books or speak to me about books and literature choices for their child.

Library Monitors

Our library relies upon the Grade 7 students to act as library monitors. These students are integral to keeping the library tidy, shelving books, creating displays, helping fellow students, speaking at assemblies and even running book fairs. In other words, they run much of the library! Maple Green is very fortunate to have such reliable and mature students.

Parent Volunteers

Throughout the year, there are various library events that would not happen if not for the help of our wonderful parent community. If you have some time to spare and would like to get involved with the library program, please contact me. Help is always needed and appreciated.
