October is Canadian Library Month!
Celebrate your school and public library this month. Visit a library and learn about online resources, new books and programs. Your E.Y.C.I. library has had a busy start up with Grade 9 Orientations and many classes from different Grade levels booking research lessons, or book talks. Plan ahead and talk to Jane or Voula about an upcoming research project or idea for your class.

Toronto Public Library High School Outreach Program
The outreach program is facilitated by a TPL librarian and focuses on TPL resources and online research for high school students. The workshop can be tailored to your class needs and integrates how to navigate and access the TPL website. If you're interested please talk to Jane or Voula and we can book a visit.
