5. Highlights from Behind the Scenes
● Over the summer, Fiona went to Montreal and purchased
about 12 new books for our French language section. She
cataloged them all and met with the AP French students to
highlight the project.
● Lise up-cycled a lot of the older equipment that rarely gets
used in the library and gave it to other departments and
schools in the district.
● Jen has been trying to make the magazine collection more
accessible while making space in the back room for possible
renovations. The Economist is our most popular magazine!
● Ms. Carpenter started collecting information & ideas about a
library renovation project which may be happening next
summer.
