School staff already have students bring suggestions for books and they try to buy every book or series that they want. Short said they’d like new and interesting books to help engage students. Spruce Home Public School is small with a population of over 100 students. The online fundraiser is at $125 as of Sept. Those who wish to support can do so by making a donation in store or through the online Adopt a School fundraiser at. Since Coles in Prince Albert closed, the nearest location is in Saskatoon. This year, 153 Canadian elementary schools across the country have been “adopted” by an Indigo, Chapters and Coles store who will fundraise on their behalf. Students want to feel valued and they want to be able to see themselves in a book.” We have a diverse population and I believe that our reading material should reflect that. I think that we need a more varied selection. “A lot of kids struggle with reading and comprehension, and I believe that they should be able to choose books that are of interest to them. “We have a budget that we can use every year but it isn’t enough,” she added. We buy library resources every year, but I don’t think that people realize what a financial commitment the purchase of new books is. “We are building up our library every year-our School Community Council helps us with that-and we do some fundraising. “We have always been adding to it,” she said.
However, she also said the school does their best to keep it as up to date as possible. Spruce Home’s library is small, and old, Short explained. “I think that social media and video games-and we are all guilty of it-has replaced the simple and enjoyable act of just reading.” “It’s so much easier, I think, for kids to do something else,” she added.

She said it’s important to inspire all of them to read more. Short said that Spruce Home has very diverse demographics, with a collection of students from rural areas and First Nations. While pandemic continues to impact how students access reading materials, the Adopt a School program continues its goal of upgrading library collections with new and diverse learning materials, which further enhance education and literacy skills. “We want them to be engaged and entertained.”
“I’m hoping that upgrading our library will help to appeal to all of the kids and their families,” she added. Its easy if we have the right material and it’s accessible.” I think it’s easier to pick up a device and communicate through that than it is to actually read, and I think promoting reading is actually the right thing to do. “I think devices have replaced actually sitting and reading. “I would love everyone to become a voracious reader because that is what I am,” Short explained. Principal Carol Anne Short explained that they want to make the library better to inspire students to enjoy reading. The foundation has paired the Indigo book store at the Centre at Circle and Eighth in Saskatoon with Spruce Home Public School to provide reading resources for the school library. Spruce Home Public School has been selected to participate in the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation’s Adopt a School program this fall, which runs from Sept.
