An Invitation
Why a Learning Commons? 
A responsive shift to the demands 
of the 21st Century
Libraries were designed as a place to house knowledge 
and provide student access to information. 
Is this how your current 
learning space looks ? 
Computer labs were designed to teach children how to use 
computer programs this type of teaching assumed that all 
students needed the same thing at the same time.
Simply finding information, or receiving instruction from a wise 
other is not the teaching and learning our students will require 
to be successful in the 21st century. Our children need an 
environment which fosters thinking. 
Critical 
and 
creative 
thinking 
Innovation 
Imagination 
Entrepreneurship 
Communication 
Collaboration
The Learning Commons is as much a perspective 
as it is a physical place
