The Learning Commons at Chaparral School is a dynamic space that welcomes students throughout the day for presentations, activities, clubs, and of course - book sign out. We LOVE reading and promote the joy of reading at every opportunity! Students can take out books and exchange them to get new ones.
We are lucky to have an amazing Library Assistant who also loves to read! Mrs. Jackson is always looking for new and interesting books. Each year, we host a Scholastic Book Fair that helps us buy literacy resources for our school. Watch your emails for the next date!
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.
