Learning Commons at the CBE
Today’s learners cannot imagine life without the internet and supporting technology. The concept of the traditional library is changing to include technology, online tools and spaces for collaboration and exploration.
School Literary Materials Selection
Related to Ministerial Order (#034/2025), Standards for the Selection, Availability, and Access of School Library Materials, CBE has published an administrative regulation AR3051: School Literary Materials Selection. Families and community members can request a review or reconsideration of a literary resource in a school's learning commons by completing the School Library Materials Reconsideration Challenge Request through their local school.
CBE also has an eLibrary online tool available to families, students and staff, which is an online catalogue for all CBE school libraries with detailed information on books, DVD’s and other resources that are available to borrow.
Additionally, parents and legal guardians are welcome to review classroom library collections by contacting your child's school.
Our Learning Commons
Welcome to our Learning Commons. We use this flexible space for collaboration, inquiry, imagination and play. Come and visit us and see what we are all about. Students are asked to find books using the e-catalogue, and to sign books out using the self-checkout. Kindergarten to grade 4 have weekly book exchanges. The loan period for books is two weeks. No new books will be loaned until all overdues have been returned. New book suggestions for our collection are always welcome. Please let Mrs. Lane, our Library Resource Technology Specialist, know your book crushes :) You will find her in the LC Monday to Thursday, 8:30 am to 3:15 pm.
