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
Our Learning Commons is a bustling place of activity! At our school, we are committed to making sure that our students have access to the resources they need to support their learning, whether that's through books or access to technology. Our Learning Commons is available during school hours, including before first class, during nutrition break and over lunch. It also offers as a gathering space for students over the lunch hour where they can enjoy books, games, some homework time on the computers, or just a place to hang out. This space is a learning hub for the school community that encourages teachers and students to collaborate, communicate, and share.
