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
Is the hub for our school learning community. It is for available to all students and is for research, reading and quiet study. It is a place for students who are actively engaged in their learning by participating in group work, reading, doing homework, researching or studying.
Students must present their cards in order to sign out material and they are responsible for all materials signed out to them. Students may access the library catalog and their own library records at any time at https://ims.cbe.ab.ca/. You may contact the school for login information.
