​​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. ​

Cedarbrae Learning Commons

Welcome to Cedarbrae Learning Commons. Our space is available to all students and is for research, reading and quiet study. Our LC functions as a central location, providing access to books, information technology and other shared materials as well as fostering a love of reading and lifelong learning. 

Borrowing Books

All of our classes have a regular library time, as well as a daily time to exchange their books for others. It is important for students to develop responsibility in caring for and respecting borrowed items for the learning commons. Books need to be returned on their due date or renewed if students need more time to finish the book.

  • Students in in Grade 1-6 are able to sign out two books at a time.
  • Kindergarten students are able to sign out one book at a time.
  • The loan period is 2 weeks with an opportunity for renewal or exchange at any time.
  • Children who bring home library books are responsible for taking care of them and should be kept in a safe place.

Overdue Books

Students are responsible for returning all resources on time. If resources are late, the following steps will be taken:

  • Reminder to the student.
  • An overdue notice is sent home.
  • Request for payment for lost or damaged items (based upon depreciated value).
  • Loss of borrowing privileges until the item is returned or payment is received.

Checking which books are signed out

Students can see what books they have checked out any time by visiting eLibrary and using the login at the top right corner. eLibrary > My Account > Review My Account > Checkouts

Students use their student ID number as their user name. Their password is their usual CBE password.
