Weekly Update #1

Hi Folks:

Here is what is happening this week.

We have moved everything around. We have made the tutoring rooms available to anyone who has booked that space on a weekly basis.

We have moved all the bookcases into the big central room and we have created a nice meeting and learning space.

We have booted our own desks out into another office just inside the foyer so that we don't interfere with the business of learning.

So have a look for your favourite books and resources out in the main room. Hope you like all the changes.

Take a look at our glamorous and colourful new book rack. Isn't it a beauty? We hope it will tempt some of you to try and check out a new book or two.

We are also happy that VIU is back operating again. Any of you waiting to get into the tutoring rooms can get back to that space again.

Any questions, just give me a call 604 413-1021. Thanks
