Highlights from Behind the Scenes ● Over the summer, Fiona went to Montreal and purchased

about 12 new books for our French language section. She cataloged them all and met with the AP French students to highlight the project.

● Lise up-cycled a lot of the older equipment that rarely gets used in the library and gave it to other departments and schools in the district.

● Jen has been trying to make the magazine collection more accessible while making space in the back room for possible renovations. The Economist is our most popular magazine!

● Ms. Carpenter started collecting information & ideas about a library renovation project which may be happening next summer.
