Movie Night

Last year, a huge phenomenon hit the the movie theatres - that's right "Twilight." We will be showing the movie "Twilight" in the library on Wednesday, November 11th from 3:15 to 5:30. Sign up in the binder located on the table just outside of the library. Space is limited!

The movie "Twilight" is based on Stephanie Meyer's book "Twilight" which first hit the bookstores in 2005. Meyer's life would never be the same. Since then, we have read the 4 book saga of Edward and Bella. Can you believe that this book was initially rejected by 14 book agents?! Today it is one of the biggest selling books - over 17 million copies worldwide!

"Twilight" centres around Bella Swan, a teenager who moves to Washington to live with her father. There, she meets Edward Cullen, a good-looking and strange guy in her school. Bella falls in love with him, but also discovers the dark and dangerous secret Edward and his family hold close - they are vampires.

Join us for this exciting movie and get ready for "New Moon" being released in theatres on Friday, November 20th. Also check out the following websites:

Do You Like to Scary Stories?

It was a dark and stormy night and the wind howled through the dark and empty rooms of the house...

Do you like to share scary stories with your friends? Scary stories are great at any time of the year, not just around Halloween. Telling a scary story is a skill that requires the teller to captivate his/her audience. Here is a short video that gives you a few tips on how to tell a scary story.



If you have a scary story that you want to share, let Ms. Friesen know. Scary stories will be put on the library blog. See Ms. Friesen for more information.

Scary Stories in the Library

Do you like stories that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, your spine tingle and make you gasp in horror? If you do, then join us for Scary Stories in the Library on Wednesday, October 28th! Valley Park students and teachers will be sharing some of their favourite ghost and horror stories that are sure to make you jump and scream. This event will start at 3:20 until 4:30! We will be stopping throughtout for those students who are unable to stay for the whole event. Join us if you dare!
