The Library Learning Commons
The Library Learning Commons is here to support students in many ways!
Many eBooks and audiobooks are available at no cost to students through Sora. Students sign in using 0 followed by their student number.
If students have not already done so, they are invited to join the Library’s Google Classroom using code sv427pg.
Databases and other online student tools and resources can be found at our website page. This is also where students can search the library’s catalogue for a book or request something new for the Library.
Students are welcome to sign out books anytime.
We also encourage students to get a Markham Public Library card, which is free to anyone attending school in Markham.
We look forward to supporting everyone this year!
