End of the Year

Library will be "closed" as of Monday June 11th.

June 4-8th is the last week to sign out library books.

Students need to start returning their library books the week of June 11th,

we will be busy with library inventory,

and would love to get as many books back before the 18th.

Students who have lost their library books, will need to pay the replacement cost before the last day of school.

Surrey History

The Surrey Archives  Corner #10 Hwy and 176A St

Find out what you know (and what you don't know!)

• Who was Surrey named after?
• Who are the schools named after?
• What did Surrey look like 50 or 100 years ago?

Find out about your neighbourhood history.
The Archives also has nearly 10,000 images online. Maybe you'll find your family in old photographs.

Don't know where to begin your research?
Email the reference staff at archives@surrey.ca
The Archives website is www.surrey.ca/heritage

                    "Surrey has no history!"
"History is soooo boring."     "So are Museums..."

It's just not true!

People from pioneer families have a ready source of information…Children might be surprised what fascinating things Grandma and Grandpa could tell them!

Whether you are a pioneer family or have moved to Surrey recently, you can be very proud of all that your community has achieved.

You will find that Surrey has a very rich history –

People who showed bravery and endurance:

• clearing land of huge trees ready for farming
• making roads that quickly turned to mud,
• coping with rivers flooding and of course,
  the long, wet winters and feelings of isolation.
  

There were few doctors, and these hard-working people travelled the district, on horseback,
attending the sick.

There was lots of fun and laughter too. "Get-togethers" in the small communities turned to lasting relationships as families befriended each other and offered each other help.

WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE….?

The Surrey Museum

#10 Hwy in Cloverdale (parking 56A Ave via 177B St)
Expect the Unexpected!
The Museum tells stories of Surrey's past, present and future. There's a full schedule of fun activities to enjoy.

• Visit exciting new exhibits
• Learn heritage crafts
• Attend lectures
• Take part in special events

 Admission is free, sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum and Archives.
Book early for our special holiday and weekend courses.

 The Museum website  iswww.surrey.ca/heritage
The Cloverdale Library
176A St and 56A Ave


If you like detective work and solving mysteries you'll want to go to the second floor of the library. Genealogy, the people's history, is always full of surprises and Cloverdale has western Canada's largest family history collection!
When you begin to trace your roots you will be amazed at what you discover about your heritage.

• Were your grandparents pioneer homesteaders?
• Was your great-grandmother really a First Nations woman just as you've always heard?
• Did your great-grandparent disembark in Halifax alone at the age of 14 with only a few dollars in his pocket? 

Drop in for a visit and our staff will be happy to help you launch your own journey of discovery.
