No presenters to list

November 13, 2018

Location

Lethbridge Collegiate Institute

What makes up a Learning Commons? It’s more than books, but what else do we include? This year’s conference suggests a lot more!!

It’s really about the people we serve…young, older, indigenous, teachers, LGBTQ , students. It’s also about the services we provide…books (obviously!), makerspaces, digital resources, guidance, database subscriptions, information, educational assistance, and presentations (just to name a few)

It’s about inclusion…of all these things and more!
