Library Learning Commons

Welcome to the RAS Library!

Ready to support you in your research, projects, and learning adventures!

Forget the old image of libraries as quiet rooms filled only with books. Today’s libraries are vibrant hubs of learning, creativity, and community. At RAS, our Library Learning Commons is designed to be full of life and possibility — a place where students can read, collaborate, explore new technologies, create original content, and grow as learners. This is not just a place to borrow books, but a space to imagine, experiment, and share ideas.

Everyone is welcome, and everyone has the opportunity to learn, make mistakes, and discover something new.

Books!

Of course libraries still have books! We're here to help you find the ones you'll LOVE.

Students may checkout up to 10 books depending on their grade level. Students are encouraged to keep their library materials in their backpacks for safekeeping!

Check out our catalog to see the selection.

Teachers: email us to submit book requests.
We deliver!

Makerspace & Other Resources

Libraries aren't JUST about the books! We have many additional resources to help you in your quest for knowledge! And if you are really ready to transform from a consumer to a producer, check out our Makerspace. This is a zone where you can create, engineer, and tinker.

Find out more about why the Maker Movement is so awesome.

Teachers: email us to book time in the makerspace!

Lessons

In addition to free use of the space, the library staff collaborates with the teachers to design and implement lessons that support classroom learning while teaching students the important subject of information literacy.

What is information literacy? It is the ability to seek and find the appropriate information one needs to solve problems and share this new knowledge with others with integrity. Find out more about library standards.

Teachers: email us to collaborate!

Our Catalog: MackinVision

With over 30,000 books in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, the RAS Library is one of the most extensive collections in Morocco.

View Catalog

Students in Grade 3 and above are able to access the library catalog by signing in with their RAS Google Account. Through the catalog, students may explore a wide range of digital resources, review and manage their personal library account, and conveniently place holds on books available in the collection.

At RAS, the Library Learning Commons is more than just a library — it’s a dynamic space where curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning come alive. Our goal is to inspire students to read, explore, and grow through a student-centered approach that goes far beyond the traditional library model. The Library Learning Commons is designed to give students ownership of their learning — a place where possibilities are limitless.

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.
