Ellison Library
 
 Our Library is fully automated using L4U from Kelowna Software. There are five student search stations conveniently located on the side wall of the learning area. Our Library collection consists of over 17 000 coded entries which include books, Reference Materials, Videos, Software, CDs, Math Manipulatives, and Science Supplies. Our computer lab is located adjacent to our Library, so Internet Resources are readily available to our young researchers.  As well, when the computer lab is busy, researchers can log into one of the 4 new iMacs purchased by our PAC for the library. They are fast machines that serve to browse our Library, World Book Online, EBSCO datatbases, and of course - the World Wide Web. They can also be used to complete projects when all other technology for students is booked. THANK YOU PAC!!  Each school year beginning in February, our district Librarians sponsor "The Battle of the Books," a competition based on the old "Reach for the Top" Television program where students are asked questions about books they have read. The competition is very popular with students and the final event is well attended by parents of the participants from schools around School District #22 (Vernon)     The Research Process - the Teacher Librarian collaborates with the classroom teacher to create research projects for students that follow the Research Quest Model. ★Research Quest Model - Student Guide
