Hello, Colonel By Cougars!
Welcome to the Colonel By Learning Commons website.
Ms. Harris is our Teacher Librarian, and her role is to support your exploration, curiosity, and growth as a student. Whether you need help finding a great book to listen to or read, tracking down an essential source for research, creating mind-blowing products for your class, or using a quiet space for study or reflection, consider the Learning Commons resources and Ms. Harris's support.
This year, five student volunteers work at our Circulation Desk during lunch. They can help you check out books or find a resource. Remember to bring your Student Card!
We are also lucky to have two of Mr. Milne's Co-op students helping in our space every other day!
Note: You may eat and drink in the Learning Commons if you pick up after yourself. This means throwing litter into one of the garbage bins as you leave. Keep it tidy for others to enjoy.
