Library Learning Commons
Welcome to the RAS Library!
We are ready to help you with your research, teaching and learning
Picture a librarian from the movies… hair in a bun, glasses, stern look, finger poised and ready to shush? Now erase that image completely! Libraries are no longer a silent place with stern rules and cozy storytimes (though we do still enjoy a good book!) Modern libraries are a hub of learning where everyone is welcome to borrow and share information. Libraries are no longer just a place to read about others’ ideas, but a place to create your own! The RAS Library Learning Commons strives to be a place full of life, learning, and activity where all feel welcome and safe to explore, make mistakes, and grow.

What do we learn about in the library?
Reading is, of course, SUPER important to us here in the library! While we encourage reading and provide access to awesome books for every reader, we are not reading teachers. So what do we teach? See the full set of standards for library learners below, but the gist is… we teach kids how to find and use information, otherwise known as information literacy! We also want to empower kids to combine information literacy skills with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) while using the engineering design process to create and share their learning.
