Library Learning Commons

 

 

The MCI Library Learning Commons is a gathering place for people of all ages to explore the world through print and electronic media resources. It is a hub integral to teaching and learning. The Learning Commons invites students, staff and community to meet, think, work, read and share ideas that contribute to life-long learning.

The TDSB Virtual Library offers many resources for students, parents and staff. Please view slides!
