It’s another school year, Sentinels, and our library learning commons is alive and vibrant with students. We are grateful for your presence in our learning commons. On the daily we see students here studying, quietly reading, or simply working collaboratively with friends. Our space is your space…’Mi casa, su casa!’, as the Spanish saying goes. We want you to know that the library is a learning hub that promotes student success.

As we have opened our doors to you for another school year, we’d like to remind you of our library procedures, expectations, and services. Please review the flyer below which was shared with all Sacred staff to post in their VLEs.

Something NEW this year is our library hours, which have changed. This year, we are closed period 1, semester 1 and closed period 2, semester 2.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak with Mrs. Loffredi or Ms. Caldarola.

We wish you all a successful 2024-2025 school year!

This week we have started with grade 9 Library Orientation Workshops in the library. These workshops are meant to introduce students to our library space and make them aware of the resources, services, and activities that we provide for all students.

We recognize that, over the past 2 years due to COVID, not all students have attended a library orientation, so it’s always a good idea to remind them about some key points.

Here is what you need to know (in a nutshell) about using our library:

Hello Sacred!

Welcome back to another school year, but not just any school year.  We are happy to return to a school year that feels very much like pre-COVID and we welcome back a sense of normalcy.

I hope you are all having a successful start to the school year and I want to welcome you back to our Library Learning Commons.

I am so happy to see that students are coming into the library to use the space.  Our mornings are very busy!!  The library is an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for all students and we hope our students know that when they walk through our doors.

This is our NEW library website and it will the be the hub for all online resources you can access 24/7.  Don’t forget to bookmark this link to your device for easy access in the future.  Stay tuned for new posts about resources that can support your learning, current events, monthly themes, or other ‘sacred’ findings.

Remember to follow us on Twitter and Instagram using the links at the top of the page.

Have a great year and we look forward to your visit in the library.
