                    School Library Collection

                    Picture
                    The Vanier School Library has a comprehensive library collection which supports the academic and recreational information needs of Vanier students and teachers. The teacher-librarian assists students in understanding how resources are arranged and the best ways to use them. Teachers collaborate with the teacher-librarian to ensure that the curriculum is supported by access to, and use of, a varied collection of resources.

                    The library print collection, both fiction and non-fiction, is frequently updated to reflect new subject areas and new authors. The library subscribes to approximately 45 periodicals covering a range of curricular and recreational interests.

                    Hours

                    As well as the main section of the library, which is open daily from 8:15 am to 4:00 pm, a seminar room is available for use by small groups.

                    Computers

                    All computers in the library and the adjacent Mac Lab are linked to the Internet.
                    The Vanier Catholic Secondary School Library is searchable on the Resource Services Internet Web Site. This site provides access to all school libraries in the Yukon and may be accessed from any computer connected to the Internet.

                    Access to other library collections

                    The teacher-librarian at Vanier can arrange interlibrary loans for Vanier students to borrow items from other Yukon libraries and the National Library of Canada.
                    Parents and guardians are very welcome to visit the school library and to borrow books of interest.
