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
In September, students will be visiting the Learning Commons where the school library is located along with our computer lab and shared a common area used for collaboration. In addition to a well-stocked library, students may also borrow novels from our eBook library. These eBooks may be accessed on personal devices and read anywhere where Wi-Fi is available. Students will receive an orientation so they are familiar with both the traditional library checkout process and the online version. Families will be asked to replace traditional library books that are lost, damaged, or destroyed while in their child’s care.
