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 look forward to the development of our Learning Commons. We anticipate our Learning Commons will provide opportunities for students to purposefully create, inquire and explore through various sources. It is a place where technology is available to help capture the imagination of students and provide them with access to knowledge beyond the walls of the school. Our vision is to continue to develop this centre as an open and inviting place with well stocked bookshelves and inviting open spaces, which promote a desire to investigate and inquire about the world around us. As the core-learning hub within the school, the Learning Commons has been designed to allow for multiple functions and to provide exhibition spaces for work created or inspired by students.
