Just picked up another book from @ClaringtonLMA for a student. Wish you could see the impact this collaboration is having on our staff and students! Thank you for being such an incredible community partner. @StStephenRoyal @PVNCCDSB @CdnSchoolLibrar @oslacouncil

I know we just purchased some tables and chairs last year, but we might need a few more (this is AFTER we borrowed extra chairs from chapel and resource today!) @StStephenRoyal @PVNCCDSB - any news on LC renos?! #WeLoveOurLC #SchoolLibraryJoy @CdnSchoolLibrar @oslacouncil

How do you decompress after a busy Friday night in the library tidying up, shelving books, making resources for study skills workshops, and rearranging furniture? With a game of chess of course! #FridayVibes #chessislife @StStephenRoyal @PVNCCDSB

@kwamealexander If the weather is too hot and you need to cool off, we’d be happy to host you @StStephenRoyal in southern Ontario, Canada! If you time it right, you could even swap out the golf cart for a snowmobile #DoYouWannaBuildASnowman #SnowDaysAreTheBestDays #KwameSnowedUp❄️

@CdnSchoolLibrar Thanks, we can’t wait! Our Comm Tech crew has been working hard all week and we know they will do an amazing job!

We wouldn’t get half of this accomplished without our 20 amazing student volunteers - we are the luckiest! And if you love our book boxes, use this link to purchase tickets (funds library programs + a book charity chosen by our book club). Thank you! https://t.co/ziD4lvwXUw

Our whiteboards are getting lots of use today… wonder if there is a chemistry assessment coming up?! @ScienceDriscoll @StStephenRoyal #RoyalStudyingTechniques

Congratulations to our OFSAA XC runner, who finished the season strong with an amazing race today! @StStephenRoyal @SSRoyals @PVNCCDSB #RoyalsProud

[SS Learning Commons @SSRoyalsLC]

We are #RoyalsProud of these incredible runners who competed at LOSSA Cross Country today! They ran their hearts out and represented @StStephenRoyal well. Hope you all get some rest before your hockey & soccer practices tonight! #NonStopSports #RunningRoyals @PVNCCDSB

@mickdee @arduino @StStephenRoyal @ICTC_CTIC @BlackBerry @durhamcollege @OntarioTechCS This is awesome! We’d love your team to come up with an automated way to track library usage (some kind of laser or movement sensor that can ‘count’ when people enter and exit the space). We can offer compensation in the form of free books and/or volunteer hours! Any takers?!

Painting rocks to place in our outdoor classroom to commemorate the children who were taken from their families, especially the ones who never made it home. We hope the rocks inspire important conversations beyond today. @StStephenRoyal @PVNCCDSB @MrsOBrien__

An impromptu lunchtime study sesh on our new whiteboards. #thinkingclassroom strategies are catching on outside of class time too! Good luck on your assessment, though we have a feeling you won’t need it 😉 @StStephenRoyal @PVNCCDSB @CdnSchoolLibrar

Wii ❤️ lunchtime in the LC! Did you know research supports playing video games as a form of stress relief? Cooperative games are particularly beneficial. (See, research can be helpful outside of academics!) @StStephenRoyal @NintendoCanada #librarylife #ResearchSkills
