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.
Mahogany Learning Commons
Our Learning Commons will be open during the day for students to exchange books and each classroom will have designated time in the mornings with our Library Assistant. The Learning Commons will be open to our common area and will be a space where our students can find a book, engage in research and work collaboratively with peers. Our Learning Commons Assistant will be available mornings to support students and students will have access with adult supports during the rest of the day.
