I am so proud of the students who completed their 200 nights of Bookbeast reading! I love your love of reading and the dedication and responsibility of recording on and bringing in your sheets. Yay! You all received special prizes for each 50, 100, 150 and 200 nights and then a special magnetic bookmark for completing them all. There are now books in the Nelson Library dedicated to your awesome work! Way to go!!
~ if you were absent the last week of school, your final prize and dedication will happen during the 1st week back in September ~

I hope everyone has signed up for Burnaby Public Library’s Summer Reading program World of Curiosities!
