<strong>FROM</strong> <strong>SCHOOL</strong> <strong>LIBRARY</strong><br />
<strong>TO</strong> <strong>LIBRARY</strong> <strong>LEARNING</strong> <strong>COMMONS</strong>:<br />
A MODEL of PRO·ACTIVE <strong>SCHOOL</strong>‐WIDE AND SYSTEMIC CHANGE<br />
Edited by Moira Ekdahl and Sylvia Zubke, Teacher-Librarians<br />
Vancouver School District #39<br />
May 2014<br />
This document summarizes the work, over three years, of two groups of Vancouver teacherlibrarians<br />
— one elementary and the other secondary — engaged in teacher inquiry. The inquiry<br />
groups have described, in both personal and professional terms, the continuum of change by which<br />
a school library becomes a Library Learning Commons in BC. They have been joined by voices of<br />
TLs throughout BC who have successfully undertaken similar initiatives.<br />
THE INQUIRY QUESTION:<br />
WHEN AND HOW DOES A <strong>SCHOOL</strong> <strong>LIBRARY</strong> BECOME A <strong>LIBRARY</strong> <strong>LEARNING</strong> <strong>COMMONS</strong>?<br />
Presented at Treasure Mountain 3, Canadian Library Association Conference, Victoria, BC: May 30, 2014<br />
