​​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. ​

What can I use this space for?

The Learning Commons can be accessed by students for many different reasons:

  • sign in/out books and read silently
  • work independently
  • group work & projects
  • research
  • play educational games and board games

Learning Commons Guidelines

Each class will have a designated Learning Commons time each week. Students will also have access to open book exchange times to sign out new books or renew current selections.

Students are responsible for taking care of all materials they borrow and returning them in good condition. A replacement fee may be charged for lost or damaged books. If a lost book is later found and returned, the replacement fee will be refunded.

Students are welcome to use the Learning Commons during lunchtime. Please help us keep this shared space clean and welcoming by being careful with food and beverages and cleaning up after yourself. Food and drinks should be kept away from books, technology, and other Learning Commons materials. Gum is not permitted in the Learning Commons.
