Library
Our Librarian:
Mrs. Knodel is our teacher-librarian at Greendale Community School. She has been a teacher for 30 years and she LOVES books! She is also the teacher-librarian at Cultus Lake Community School. Before moving to Chilliwack, she taught in Vancouver, West Vancouver, and even the Philippines! She is passionate about reading and loves to share her love of books with students. She is married and has two sons and new daughter-in-law. In her free time, she likes to hike, play pickleball, watch her sons play volleyball and travel with her family, have coffee with friends and, of course, read! Her favourite book right now is "Cloud Cuckoo Land" by Anthony Doerr.
Library Schedule:
I am at the school on Thursdays and Fridays. On one of these days, students should be returning their books, either to exchange them or renew them. Students can also put books on hold and I will deliver them as soon as they are available. Click on the following link to access our catalogue and put books on hold (maximum of 2). Username is student's ID number. Password for K-3 is student's birthday (YYYYMMDD) and password for 4-5 is the same as his/her district computer login. Please check with me if you need any help logging on.
