Normanby Community School Library

It has come to my attention that parents are worried that the Normanby Community School will not have a library, if West Grey Public library chooses to locate elsewhere. Since we are a joint library, some of the collection belongs to us and some of it to the Public Library system. As a school we do have an extensive collection of age appropriate books, both fiction and non-fiction, which students will continue to be able to access. We are continually adding new resources to the library, through generous donations of books from school families and the community and purchases through school funds and fundraising. Currently our Library Clerk,  Marny MacLeod is in the process of completing an order for approximately $2,500.00 worth of new resources. She is attentive to the interests of the students and looks for suggestions from the staff.  The library is a vital part of our school and will continue to be an important literacy support for our students and their families.

        -       Association of Bluewater Administrators
        -       System Administrative Team

The committee was formed as a result of concerns expressed by parents of Kindergarten aged parents and childcare providers.
