2014-15 School Year
This has been such a transformational year for the Library at BK. Thank you again to Tom and Joan Cooney for giving us such an incredible space. The Fraser Library is now truly the hub of the school, academically and socially. With a new space, a new website, new books, new digital resources, and more, the future is looking fantastic!

Summer Reading
Summer can be a great time to catch up on all the books you didn't have time to read during the school year. Studies have shown that students who don't read during the summer can actually lose academic ground. Find some suggested summer reading below and then check them out in either print or eBooks at local public libraries.
YALSA Lists
Top Ten and more as voted by teens. AND there is a Book Finding App that is pretty handy when looking for something to read. AND the 2014 Outstanding Books for College Bound lists are found here.
Book Trailers
100's of book trailers will help you find a good book.
Summer Reading Flowchart
101 books for High School Students to read this summer. This cool flowchart format will help find exactly what you like.
QR Codes in the Library
QR codes (Quick Response Code) are the square matrix barcodes that are being used for quick access to information. All students could have a QR Code reader on their phone and/or tablets. They are freely available at the App Store and on Google Play. The first use for the library will be the automatic downloading of a few of our new eBooks to a phone or tablet for reading. They can be found on the Library Blackboard page and in the library catalog.
