The Newton North Library Learning Commons is a dynamic space centered on the learner.  We provide resources related to the entire school curriculum in many formats.  We teach and collaborate with teachers in all departments.  We offer and promote books that students love to read.  However, a learning commons is much more.  Our Library Learning Commons is a place where groups of students investigate and problem-solve in self-defined directions, limited only by the creativity of their questioning.

Engagement is central to the Library Learning Commons
Our success is defined by student achievement.

We support open source
In the spirit of learning, creating and sharing, we support open source software.
