Congratulations to our Kayla Smith - chosen as the Burnaby school district’s valedictorian to represent our Indigenous Grads of 2020. Thank you for all your work, through the years, as a student in Burnaby. Best wishes as you continue your journey! @BurnabyAbEd @burnabyschools

There are some really great books on this list. Many are available through the @burnabypl ebook apps, and others will be there for you in our library when you can borrow books again.
