Semiahmoo Secondary Library Learning Commons

Semiahmoo Secondary has undergone a transformation from library to library learning commons and I'd like to share a few features of the new space. Teacher-librarian, Maureen McDonough, gave me a little tour and shared how much she enjoys working in the new LLC, which she calls, "A work in progress." Students in the LLC were comfortable in the space: collaborating with groups, using the computers, signing books out or just catching up with friends. Some were using the meeting room which was formerly a workroom. Others collaborated in the Maker Space area behind the circulation desk. I loved how this library was transformed and it was great to see so many students taking advantage of the space.
Students feel at home working on their assignment.

Small footprint with a lot of display space on this triangular shelf.

Higher table and chairs for group work.

This was a storage room for VHS tapes. The room has been cleared out
and repurposed as a green screen room.
