The Jen Cumming Library

About the Jen Cumming Library

Truly in line with Jen’s warm heart, our library has become the heart of the school. It’s where students gather together be it for French classes,Yoga time, small group work, or even just to sit and relax with a good book. Our books are easy to find, well-maintained, and organized in a way that inspires early readers to find exactly what they’re looking for.

A love for reading and storytelling is a very special trait to cherish. Dr. Seuss once stated: “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” As students step into our library, they are invited to do just that.

Jen’s favourite book was The Giving Tree, a story about altruism and the profound happiness we gain from helping others. Our Library gives the gift of learning, love, laughter, and literacy every day. We hope that you come and visit, you may just find your favourite childhood book inside!
