Library Resource Centre

Welcome

A warm library welcome to all students who are new to Birchwood and also to returning students. Our school library offers resources in English and French with a wide variety of reading material in both the fiction and non-fiction sections. We have available for student use: seven computers, a number of CDs, and magazines. The library provides an area for students at lunch to socialize quietly, to play chess or checkers, and to read. Most days the library is open until 4:00 p.m. for students who wish to work on homework. Students do not require a library card to borrow material from the school library.

Library Online

The Birchwood School Library database is available online at http://320.schoollibrary.edu.pe.ca/. Imagine, you are now able to search our library in the comfort of your own home to see if the school library has the book you are looking for and whether or not it is available. Are you working on a research project or interested in a particular author or subject? You can search at home and you'll know just where to find the books you need when you visit the Birchwood Library Resource Centre.

Book Orders Help Our Library

Each month Scholastic book order forms are distributed to students. Each purchase adds up to a certain amount of free material for the school library which is very much appreciated.

Parent Volunteers

Parents who would like to volunteer in the school library are asked to contact Ms.Poirier at 368-6870.

Author Maggie de Vries Presents...

All grade 7 Birchwood students attended a presentation by Canadian author Maggie DeVries at the Charlottetown Public Library in celebration of 2001 Canadian Children's Book Week. Ms. de Vries shared many of her published works and the tips and hints about the writing and publishing process. Thank you to Ms. Poirier for organizing this event for students.
