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
We believe that the school library program is essential in assisting students in becoming lifelong learners. We provide a warm inviting learning area where students can interact with different forms of literature, use our computer lab and pursue their individual interests.
The library is a regularly scheduled teaching space and used for class book exchanges, research activities and instruction. Students are encouraged to take books home from our library. Please encourage responsibility by reminding your child to care for the books and return them on time. Replacement fees will be charged for any unreturned/lost books from our Library or Home Reading collection.
Borrowing Rules
Students have access to the book exchange once a week, when they may borrow up to two books at a time.
