June 2020

We are loaning out books! Search in the collection (maybe try the Destiny Discover interface), make a list of what you would like, and send it to us. We will get the books ready for you to pick up at the courtyard doors.
Book returns can also be brought to the gym or the courtyard doors.
Please feel free to email (trimmer@sd73.bc.ca) if you would like help with anything. Take care, everyone.
