Welcome to the Ed LeMay Library Learning Commons

"Teach us Knowledge, Goodness and Discipline"

Our Mission

The Ed LeMay Library Learning Commons is a physical and virtual collaborative space where students and staff can research with their class, in small groups, or individually. Students can study, access online databases and receive technical support from the library staff. Our goal is to foster deep learning through the promotion and development of skills that are essential for success in our knowledge and information based society:  Communication, collaboration, creativity, leadership, critical thinking and problem solving.  We also provide an extensive collection of reading materials that students can borrow to nurture their love of reading and appreciation of literature.
