@SouthMSLibrary: A Flexible Learning Space
Flexible learning spaces provide students with choice in how they become engaged with their learning environment. When assessing your classroom space please consider the library as an extension of that space. Students and teachers are permitted to utilize the library and resources throughout the day to suit their needs. Move the tables, chairs or brainstorm on the walls in our Think Tank. The library is no longer just a space for quiet, although there is room for that too, the library strives to become a learning commons for all members of the Cougar Learning Community.
Drop-in or sign-up to use the space of your choosing. The tutorial below will walk you through sign-up.
