Ms. Veale welcomes you to the William Armstrong Learning Commons (a.k.a. - the library!).

The Learning Commons is available during the school day to work, read and exchange books.

Students are welcome to exchange books during Open Book Exchange on days 1-4 until 8:45am.

The Learning Commons is also open at recess on Days 1 and 4 for S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) activities.

Primary students have a weekly visit to the library scheduled and older students come on an as needed basis. During scheduled library classes students will be introduced to different books through story time.

Student Library Cards

Each student has a library card with a unique barcode number. These cards are kept on file in the library. They are used in conjunction with our automated library circulation system to ensure that there is a record of the materials that each student checks out of the library. Students are expected to check out all materials borrowed from the library and will be responsible for all materials checked out under their account.

Material Limit

Students in grade 1 - 8 are allowed to check out two books at a time. Exceptions are sometimes made to accommodate multiple classroom projects (at the discretion of the librarian).

Loan Period

All borrowed materials are due back to the library within two weeks of the check-out date.

Lost/Damaged Material

Students are responsible to return Armstrong library books in good condition. If borrowed material is lost or damaged a note will be sent home requesting a donation amount for the lost book. Please do not purchase a replacement yourself as it may not be the same version as the copy lost (i.e. library-bound, hardcover, etc.). The librarian will order a replacement copy that both meets our needs and matches our automated circulation records.

Borrowing Privileges Suspended

Borrowing privileges will be suspended if a student has not returned library materials that they have borrowed.
