Learning Commons Rules
The Learning Commons is a shared environment for students wishing to sign out library books, read, study, access computers and participate in class work and discussions. It consists of the Library, Computers, and study areas. You are asked to be respectful of all students and keep noise levels at a reasonable volume.
Eating and drinking are not permitted. This is not a dining room or cafeteria. Use of this area is a privilege so please tidy up when you leave. Garbage cans and recycle bins are available for your use.
Students may sign out up to three books for a period of two weeks. Books may be renewed as often as necessary. There are no overdue fines; however, payment for or replacement of books that are lost or damaged beyond repair is a requirement. Please remember that all books signed out under a student's name will remain on their UCDSB library record until the books are either returned or losses have been cleared.

Local Public Libraries
Library Cards are free for ALL students attending school in Brockville – even if you don’t live within the city of Brockville. It’s easy: just drop in to the library with a valid student card or a report card and ID showing your name and current address. If you are under 16, you need a parent or guardian with you.
