Key Points:
The library learning commons is a flexible space (ZUBKE and EKDAHL, 2014). We have a website that is helpful for all. Our book collection represents student’s culture, languages and celebrations (The Canadian Children’s book Centre, 2025). Students are known. The LLC is a fun and engaging place that allows for students’ voice and choices (LaGarde, 2019)
Rational:
Library learning commons should be flexible with physical and virtual space Students need to be accurately represented in books, and students should learn about a variety of cultures to better understand others and grow their empathy. Students will be more interested in something if they are able to have an input.
