Welcome to the Lewis Library Learning Commons!
The Lewis Learning Commons is open from 7:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. Classes visit the learning commons on a flexible schedule to receive media, research, & literary instruction. Individual students are welcomed to the learning commons with a library pass at any time. We are also proud to share that our new makerspace area is now open!
The makerspace is an ever evolving space that can be visited by individual students and small groups to explore technology and engage in curriculum enriching projects and activities throughout the school day.
The media staff includes Mr. Cole Sproat and Ms. Cami Lemr. We are ready and willing to help all learning commons visitors with research questions, online database searches, or finding that perfect leisure reading book.
