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.
January News
Cecil Swanson Library is always a busy place! Many students use this space for group activities, projects and of course reading.
The Book Fair in October was once again a huge success! It has added to the excitement our students feel about reading. We hope your family had a time to visit during Parent-Teacher Conferences.
We received 60% of all sales towards new books in the library. Special thanks go to The Library Committee, library helpers and our volunteers for putting on the Book Fair. Thank you all.
Congratulations to Cassy in Ms.Bereskow's class as our Book Fair Draw Winner. Individual grade winners in the coloring contest were Charlotte, Takara, Ahmed, Hafidh, Adam, Janice, Alina and Asad.
