Be Curious. Be Creative. Be BOLD.
Our Library Learning Commons
The mission of the Ecole Boundary Elementary School Library is to nurture a love of reading, learning, and critical thinking in a safe, welcoming space where students feel seen, heard, and valued. Our library is a collaborative hub that fosters curiosity, creativity, and a strong sense of belonging. We work in partnership with students, educators, and the wider community to cultivate meaningful connections, celebrate diverse voices and perspectives, and empower all learners with the purpose and confidence to grow as thoughtful, informed, and compassionate individuals.

A Natural Place to Learn
Welcome to our Library
Our library learning commons is a place where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is nurtured, and the joy of learning is celebrated. Here, students are invited to explore a diverse collection of literature, ideas, and resources that support both academic growth and personal interests.
— We're excited to see where your curiosity takes you.

Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that our school is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. We are grateful to live, learn, and share stories on this land.
​
As we explore books and ideas in our library, we remember and honour the voices, cultures, and knowledge of Indigenous peoples — past, present, and future.
A Padlet is an online platform that acts like a digital bulletin board. It is a custom virtual space where documents, images, videos and links are posted and can easily be accessed.

About Your Teacher-Librarian
My name is Monique Zander, and I am proud to serve as the teacher-librarian at Ecole Boundary Elementary. I have been an educator for over 25 years, teaching students from Grades 1 to 7 in the classroom as well as working intermittently in several school libraries. I have always been passionate about helping students develop a love of reading, research, and critical thinking.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two adult children. As a family, we enjoy mountain biking, hiking and skiing. I have also been described as having an obsessive interest in mushrooms and fungi. One of my favourite hobbies is hiking or biking through the forest, and photographing the fungi I discover along the way.
Reading is one of my highest priorities. I enjoy all kinds of books—fiction, non-fiction, and graphic novels. Some of my favourite titles include The Wild Robot by Peter Brown (fiction), Mushrooms of British Columbia by Andy MacKinnon and Kem Luther (non-fiction), and On Being Yukiko by Jeff Chiba Stearns (graphic novel).
My favourite movie? The Princess Bride, of course.
I look forward to supporting you all as we explore the world of information literacy in our library.
