After reading through the White Pine novels for this year, LBP has selected it's winner!  Based on our voters, we have selected Exit, Persued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston as our ultimate winner! 

White Pine has officially launched!  If you're interested in taking part, come and check out the books in the library (or read about them on our Forest of Reading page).  We have two copies of each book at LBP, and many of the books are available in a digital format on Overdrive.  

Keep track of which books you've read, and what you think about them, then join us on Wednesdays at lunch in the Library to discuss your thoughts with your peers.  We will meet every Wednesday until voting in early April.  If you've read at least 5 of the 10 titles, you can vote on which was your favourite.  Students across Canada will be voting to crown the best book of White Pine 2017.  

Come grab a book today and join us on MARCH 1ST for your first meeting! 

As exams loom near, don't forget the library will be open to students for the full exam period.  The library will be open from 8:15 to 4:15 as a quiet space to review for exams every day until February 1st.   

Before you get lost in studying for exams though, take a break to pet some puppies and relieve some stress!  The last Bark Break will be happening TODAY (Wednesday January 18th) in the library from 11:30 to 12:30.  Come have a visit, and release some stress by petting some happy dogs. 

Did you miss the dogs?  Have no fear!  Burlington Public Library is also hosting a Puppy Room at 3 of their locations next week.  Head to the library to study for exams and take a break to visit with some pups.  You can "paws" from studying on the following days: 

• Central Library: Monday January 23rd 7-8pm
• Brant Hills: Tuesday January 24th 7-8pm 
• ​New Appleby:  Wednesday January 25th 7-8pm 

BPL is also having Exam Cram Study Hall from January 21 to February 1 at library branches if you need a quiet place to study after school. Drop by during library open hours for individual and group study spaces, treats, and WiFi access.

Good luck on your exams Patriots!   

Starting in the new year, we will be launching the 2017 White Pine book club!  .  Keep an eye out in the library for the books to be ready to check out, or if you prefer e-books or audiobooks, visit Overdrive!    Can't wait for them to be released?  Visit the Forest of Reading page to check out the titles.  Let us know which one you're most excited for below!

Welcome to the library's new website!
