We have expanded our school library cards to access several eResources online. PHRD students who were enrolled during the 2019-2020 year have a school card at the library. These cards were shared with your students teacher, if you would like to use them to access the eResources just contact your child's teacher and ask for the log-in credentials. These cards can access eResources such as; TumbleBooks, TumbleBookCloud Junior, TeenBookCloud, Solario World Books Online and Read Alberta eBooks.
If you have a child that is not a PHRD student and would like to access these eResources & more, just contact the library to setup a public membership. If you already have a public member you may already access all eResources.

ORC is a tool normally available to teachers, by request, that can assist them with materials or ideas for teaching grades K-12. Now teachers, parents and students at home can access the ORC as long as you have an Alberta I.P. address, with no log-in, allowing for immediate access! Check out amazing resources such as Bookflix, PebbleGo Science, the War of 1812 Virtual Exhibition, and lots more for grades K-12.

Welcome to another school year and more great opportunities to read with your children. All students have now received an orientation to the library and three important pieces of information:
When are library books due?
Students will know which day is their library day. That is the day all books are returned and new books are checked out. Generally books are on loan for one week unless the student wishes to renew it. If your child doesn’t know which day their library day is, you may call the library at 674-8519 and ask to speak with Mr.Goldsmith.
