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.
The Learning Commons at Terry Fox School
The Learning Commons space at Terry Fox School is a bright, open space that houses our local library collection and supports multiple teaching, collaboration, and working spaces.
Borrowing Guidelines
Students are encouraged to take advantage of our robust library collection. Materials are checked-out for a two week period. Need more time? Come to the library to have your item renewed.
While checked-out, materials are the responsibility of the student. Lost items, or those returned damaged, may be charged to the student's account.
eLibrary
The eLibrary is an online catalogue of the titles in our collection and throughout the CBE. Loans of materials from other schools may be facilitated by our Library Assistant.
Reads for the Future
This grant will fund new additions to our library shelves - watch for these new titles coming soon!
