About LPCI LLC

What is our Goal?

Our goal is to support the academic success of our students, to promote a life-long enjoyment of reading, and to provide knowledge building experiences with 24/7 access to information in a welcoming environment that is conducive to learning.

What do we do?  

Supporting Literacy and Learning Together

Teacher-librarians and teachers work collaboratively to ensure that students receive information literacy instruction, independent reading initiatives and support for learning with technologies.

Together we motivate students to read for pleasure and information:

•  Fiction and nonfiction

• Specialized Collections - Graphic novels

• White Pine Reading Club

•  Reference

•  Virtual sources

 We design learning to engage students in inquiry learning:

• Building critical and creative thinking skills

• Working efficiently and effectively with information

•  Utilizing best technologies

• Fostering multiple literacy skills

• Creating and sharing

What can students do?

Lawrence Park Library Learning Commons consists of a main library space with a laptop cart, a computer lab with a chromebook cart, and a seminar room.  Students can come with their classes to use the library learning commons to find excellent reading materials and to conduct research from our wealth of print books and from our Virtual Library. Independently, students can study at tables, browse for books and read, work on their assignments, work on mindfulness activities, or access our online research databases. When they are at home or in the public library, students can access our Virtual Library Web Site 24 hours a day to use subscription databases or selected web links including the Toronto Public Library, and TDSB  student research guide.
