Students in all grades can visit the library in small groups or on their own to sign out books at any time during the instructional day.
You need to know their student number or bring it with you written down.
You can have 4 books signed out a time. The loan period is 2 weeks but you can come renew during any time we are open if you need it longer.
The only time the library is CLOSED each day is the last period of the day. (There are some additional closures that arise but this is the only consistent one.)
Classrooms educators are encouraged to create a structure in their own classroom communities for DAILY library access.
Please do not assume you can an exchange books or access the printer on nutrition breaks - it's important that you come as part of your classroom learning.

It offers a wide variety of technology (Apple computers, Ipads, Chromebooks, laptops, green screen and more)
It also houses our maker materials and other learning tools.

During the first 3 years of Castle Oaks development and growth, we wanted to both embrace and further understand the "makerspace" movement and how it can inspire inquiry and student learning. As a result, Open Learning has evolved and continues to change each year.
