Hello, November! As we enter a season of gratitude, we're reflecting on the things we’re most grateful for here at Chancellor - our students. Even though we are physically distant from most of you, we are always thinking of ways to connect with you and support you.
As always - Need a book? Have a question? Let us know. We're happy to help! A friendly librarian is only an email away!

Book of the Week
Bonechiller
by Graham McNamee
Danny is sick of running. Harvest Cove is the latest nowhere place he's drifted through with his dad. In summer, people come to stay in cottages on the vast lake. In winter, Harvest Cove is a ghost town hidden away in Canada's Big Empty. Danny's been running forever, but Harvest Cove might be his last stop. The place has a way of making people disappear. As the cold sets in, Danny and his new friends stumble on a centuries-old nightmare. They start seeing things. Impossible things. And in winter, there's no escape from Harvest Cove.
