Building Information Literacy The Contemporary School Library's Role: "Pillar of the Lifelong Learning Community" School libraries have changed; they are no longer simply collections of print (and some audio-visual) resources, offering instruction in "library skills" within a fixed schedule, often isolated from the rest of the school's curriculum and programs. This change has been taking place for two decades, it is reflected in the philosophy and emphasis on resource-based learning found within Minister's Directive MD-007 on School Libraries, which supercedes (Circular 92-03): Other existing documents which reflect this same philosophy and emphasis on resource-based learning are: School Library Handbook, published by the P.E.I. With the increased use of information technologies within school libraries and beyond in our schools, homes and communities, the school library program and purpose has also evolved. The Role of Reading (Independently, and For Enjoyment)

The Journey from Library to Learning Commons The library, at one time, was the center of the school building. It's where knowledge was held, books were shared, and ideas were generated. It was quiet, to the point that mini-lessens were taught about the edict required while in the confines of this environment. Before I begin it is important to note that everything we have done, all that was created, was due to Christie’s amazing teachers and supportive parents. One of the things I love most about education is our willingness, and even love, of sharing information. A colleague of mine, @matthew_arend, recently wrote a great blog post about his creation of a makerspace. I wish I could take credit for the beginning idea of changing the way we use our library, but I can’t, it all started with @LorraineShimizu. As a new principal I was ready to move forward with our LC. So here is what I knew: I wanted to create a Learning Commons for ALL kids. Fundraising. Step One: Paint. Step Two: Order furniture and find temporary furniture.
