Welcome to the Learning Commons!

The Maple Ridge Learning Commons is an amazing place! You can enjoy a variety of spaces in the learning commons to learn, collaborate, study, read, and spend time with your classmates and friends. The teacher-librarians are here to support your learning by helping with all your research and citation questions. And of course we would love to help you find the perfect book to read, for your English class or just for fun! We have hundreds of fiction titles, and we are always adding more to our collection.
Interested in a book we don't have yet? Fill in this Google form and let us know about it.
