OUR LIBRARY

Welcome to our school library

At Radisson School, all classroom teachers have the opportunity to collaboratively plan, teach and assess research units with the teacher-librarian. Research skills and information technology are integrated into an information literacy program designed to allow all students to learn to think rationally and creatively, to solve problems, to manage and retrieve information and to communicate effectively to become independent users of information.

Staff

• Ms. Denise Desrosiers - Library Technician

Books are borrowed on a 6-day cycle basis.
