EAST CAMPUS

As we approach the end of the year, we would like to kindly request the assistance of East Campus students and families.

Throughout 2024, our library staff have added a significant number of new books to the East Campus collection, which can be found on Level 2. These books are available for students' enjoyment, either for wide reading in English classes or for personal use.

We ask that students and families take a moment to check lockers and home shelves for any books that may belong to the East Campus Library. Please return any items to the book return box, located on Level 2 of East Campus, at your earliest convenience.

Please note that McKinnon Secondary College library books can be identified by the college stamp. 

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain our library resources for the benefit of all students.

The books at Main Campus Library are also available to students based at East Campus. Students may place reservations via the library catalogue. Reservations are delivered once per week. Students can find more information on the Library’s Google site. 

BOOK OF THE WEEK

The following book was recently featured in our Book of the Week display: 

We Do Not Welcome Our Ten-Year-Old Overlord by Garth Nix

From master storyteller Garth Nix comes the thrilling tale of a strange object with the potential to destroy the world, and what happens when it falls into the wrong hands. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things.

All Kim wants to do is play Dungeons & Dragons with his friends and ride his bike around the local lake. But he has always lived in the shadow of his younger sister. Eila is a prodigy, and everyone talks about how smart she is, though in Kim's eyes, she has no common sense. So, when Eila finds an enigmatic, otherworldly globe which gives her astonishing powers, Kim not only has to save his sister from herself, he might also have to save the world from his sister!
