OUR FRIENDS
NELSON MUNICIPAL LIBRARY
We are forever amazed at the enormous collection of books that this facility houses for a library and population that it services. A fantastic fiction section, e-books, computers, and the most helpful staff around. Free library card to all Nelson and local residents. There is also a terrific youth and teen program with growing resources, titles, and tons of writing and art contests. What are you waiting for...head down to Stanley Street and get your card today!
MT. SENTINEL SECONDARY SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTRE
The ideal school library and resource area. Mrs. Malloff, the 'cybrarian', has created the ultimate 'learning commons'. If you are looking for a resource that LVR does not have this might be a great place to start your search. If you are into Web 2.0 and love working with digital media and information there is also a fantastic page for these resources. A website that is well worth visiting time and time again!
DISTRICT RESOURCE CENTRE (WEST)
A really good place to find curriculum and other resource-related materials for staff and students. Email requests to drc@sd8.bc.ca or click on the icon at the left to check out their collection.
KELOWNA SECONDARY SCHOOL RESOURCE CENTRE: THE LITERATE OWL
Current, hip, and fresh. More here than just databases and talks about books. Engaging and relevant videos, hundreds of links to other sources, news feeds, digital resources, French collection that is unrivaled, and RSS feeds from faculty members! Mr. Smith has put together a school library website unlike any other!
CHARLES BEST SECONDARY SCHOOL LIBRARY
The online research resources are quite possibly second to none. Various media and digital resources are up to date and very current. Judith Comfort, the teacher-librarian, knows how to find that 'deep information' that is really hard to find in the ear of 'Goolgization'.
BC LIBRARIES ONLINE
With one library card you have access to ALL the collective resources of all of the libraries in British Columbia. Click on the icon to check out the two dozen services that are available. From teen book clubs, to research resources, to e-books...it goes on and on!
SELKIRK COLLEGE LIBRARY
A beautiful place with an even better view of the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers. A top-notch post-secondary library with hundreds of thousands of books, periodical, and other resource media. Residents of the Kootenay- Boundary region are able to borrow books from the library.
