School Library Learning Commons’ resources play an integral role in supporting student learning outcomes by ensuring an inclusive learning environment.

The Library Learning Commons’ provides a portal to the world of information and knowledge for all students from K-12.  Resources should contain a wide selection of materials and formats at varying levels of difficulty that are reflective of diversity and multiple points of view. 

The purpose of this guiding document is to provide direction and standardized procedures for the selection, reconsideration, and de-selection of Library Learning Commons’ resources at the school level.
