Check out your book orders!

Sr. Zelie appeared with the Scholastic book order forms today, so be sure to have a look to see if anything appeals to you. I know many of you like to build your own book collection, but if you have suggestions for titles you would like to see added to the library be sure to let me know!
I was telling one of our new students what a pleasure it has been to have so many new faces in Junior Book Club - you have all had such great contributions to make and I am so excited that we already have some of your favourite books here at Rivier! Hopefully together we can build an even better library!
I am continuing to catalogue some new books every day so check the centre shelves when you visit the library .  Some of those titles and series include: The Boy Sherlock Holmes series by Shane Peacock - visit   The Boy Sherlock Holmes Website .  The first book in the series is called Eye of the Crow.  For those of you interested in steampunk, we have another new series , the Clockwork Century by Cherie Priest beginning with the book Boneshaker - check out her blog at The Clockwork Century.

 Many more exciting books to come and I welcome your continued input!  Remember I am not in the library Fridays so save your book exchanges for Monday please.

Friday Inspiration...

My sister-in-law posted this video on facebook this morning and I thought I would share it with all of you today. Some of you may have listened to Nick's inspirational talks before, but his message is so important that I just had to share it again. Have a great weekend!

New Books!

As you may have noticed, there are many crisp new books being added to our collection as quickly as I can get them out to the display shelves! I will be trying to remember my librarything password also so that I can update the little gadget to the right of the blog to circulate some of the new additions on here also. Welcome to all of you who have joined either of our Book Clubs! As you have discovered, one of the perks is being among the first to see the brand new books before anyone else in the school and having first dibs on signing them out! The rest of you might see your friends with a book you would like to read and may certainly come to the library to ask me to be put on the reserve list for that title. Here's a peek at an author discussing a new series we will soon have on our shelves:

You know how I love shoes, so I thought just for fun I would share this fashion video while I am busy catching up with all of the cataloguing of new books that were put aside while we packed and unpacked the library!

Let's Start Book Club!

First of all, here's a peek at what I've been busy doing in my spare time for the past few days!  My cousin was married on Saturday (in Saskatoon) and my gift to her was her wedding cake.  

Now that I've shared a little of my after-hours life with you, I think we should start up our book clubs again this week.  I am thinking Tuesdays for Juniors and Thursdays for Seniors, but let me know if you have other preferences.  Listen for announcements to confirm times and days.

Almost Ready For the Big Reveal...

Well, the books are mostly in their new places and the library is looking great!  Soon it will be time to welcome all of you in for the new year.  I feel as though I've missed out on these first days down in my "isolation chamber" while I've been busily unpacking!  Thank goodness Sister Zelie has been faithfully helping in her spare time - she is a trooper!  Hopefully we will be opening the library doors sometime next week - cross your fingers that all continues to go smoothly.
In the meantime, I thought I would post a video of  Maggie Stiefvater, author of Shiver and Linger discussing the release of the third book in her trilogy Forever.  Sound like they are going to be making this series into a movie, too!
