May reading take you to many amazing places this summer; see you in September!
Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House is working on a community-based history project that needs your involvement!
How? Join the heart of the project in July & August – take part in weekly summer comics workshop for youth!
The aim of the project is to get community members like yourself engaged in your own history, and the history of this place. During the workshops, you’ll learn how to create comic-narratives based on your own experiences, archival materials, and interviews with people in the community. Participants will meet up once a week for 2-3 hours during July and August – time of day to be decided on by the group.
The comics you create will be displayed to help other community members see and learn about the history of our neighbourhood.

The library is in the process of checking our collection and shutting down for the school year.
In September, the library will be using a new computer system, so we are trying to clean up all of the lost & missing items before transferring over the collection.
Students — please return all library books by May 31st!
If you have overdue books or fines on lost books, we will not issue your yearbook (if you purchased one) until you come to speak with Ms. Fletcher or Mr. Jakoy.
Staff — please return all library books by May 31st! If it is a resource you still need at the start of June, then please return it as soon as you’re done with it. If you would like to borrow items for summer school or planning, please speak with Ms. Fletcher or Mr. Jakoy.
Thank you for your co-operation!
Who killed Svetlana Mirova?
The picture below shows a group of Gladstone students trying to solve the murder of Svetlana Mirova, a brilliant yet difficult to get along with scientist who was working on “The Effect of Bromine in Influencing Cell Membrane Signaling in E-Coli” at the time of her death.
Come on into the Library Learning Commons to see if you can figure out who did it!
