The resources of the library facility are available for student use between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.  Five networked computers are available for research and assignment work.   Students are welcome to research curricular topics as well as personal interest topics, recreational reading, and work on homework assignments.  Those who use the library are, however, required to respect and care for all library materials (equipment and loan materials) and to conduct themselves in a manner suitable to the environment of the library.    Lost and/or damage of library materials carry fines that must be paid prior to year-end.

The Bourgoin Bears can continue to access Learn Alberta website’s reference center by logging on to www.learnalberta.ca (User ID: LA41, Password: 8088). Students will have access to current events, encyclopedia entries, maps and much more.  This website brings together Electric Library Canada (which gives students access to online current news articles, magazines, pictures, maps, newspapers and more), Sirs Discoverer (which is a dictionary, thesaurus, current events website), Canadian Encyclopedia Online (full of Canadian facts), and Grolier Encyclopedia Online (which includes an atlas, Grolier Encyclopedia, the New Book of Knowledge, the New Book of Popular Science and Land and Peoples).  Any questions or problems with the site can be forwarded to our librarian.

Our library hosts a Career Corner where students have access to resource books, magazines and articles as well as   on-line information on careers.  These resources are available to help students identify their skills, talents and interests and explore potential career choices.  These resources will also assist students through the many stages of learning and get them and parents thinking about panning for post-secondary education.
