The Libraries in our schools have been transformed into Learning Commons that provide students with a flexible, collaborative space that extends beyond the walls of the building to equip students with 21st-century skills. Students are able to learn by accessing print and online resources, as well as through interactions with peers and staff.
Print resources available in the Library may include books, encyclopedias, newspapers and magazines, while online resources include access to the internet and electronic databases.
Many of the library facilities have different areas to accommodate different uses. They often have a seminar room, a computer area, seating areas for student reading, and a common area for students to congregate. As well, there is often a lot of table work space available for students to work in small groups.
Students are encouraged to use the Library before and after school and during their lunch periods and spares for school work or reading.

The OverDrive collection, accessed through the Sora App, is an extension of physical libraries within the RCDSB. It is available online - allowing for 24/7 access to eBooks for a wide range of interests and reading levels for students in K-12. Students and staff can check out titles anywhere, anytime, on any device.
You can start reading either from your current internet browser using the link below or by downloading the Sora app to your personal device and then signing in with your RCDSB username and password.
