Wawa-news.com You can't hear the 'big picture'!
L’École Publique L’Escalade visited the Wawa Public Library. The library staff was thrilled to have students and teachers from L’Escalade come and visit the library. It was wonderful to show everyone our amazing new Interactive Game table and all the uses of a 3D Printer. The students were all very captivated by the new technology in the library. It was also a great opportunity to talk about the afterschool activities the library has available for the students.
And of course, what is a visit to the library without a story? We read a book about travelling and exploring Canada and we were able to use our carpet (which is a map of Canada) as a guide!

The staff pick of the week is “Desert God” by Wilbur Smith. From the Book Jacket:
On the gleaming banks of the nile, the brilliant Taita-a freed slave and advisor to the Pharaoh-devises a plan to destroy Egypt’s most feared enemy, the mighty Hyksos. His quest will take him on an epic journey through the ancient river, through Arabia and the magical city of Babylon and across the open seas-all in the company of the Pharaoh’s exquisite sisters. With the future of the kingdom itself on his shoulders, Taita plunges into a world where the line between loyalty and betrayal shifts like the desert sands, evil waits in the shadows and death lingers on the edge of darkness.
