“There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book.”

— Frank Serafini

Welcome to the Smithson Public School Library Learning Commons—a vibrant space where students can explore new ideas, discover great reads, meet new friends, and embark on endless adventures through books and digital resources!

Library & Book Care Guidelines

• Borrowing Period: Books are checked out for three weeks at a time and may be renewed for an additional three weeks, provided no one else has placed a hold on them.

• Book Care: Please help your child keep their library books safe and return them on time so other students can enjoy them.

• Damaged Books: We know accidents happen! If a book gets damaged, please do not attempt to repair it at home. Our library team uses specialized tools and archival tapes designed specifically to repair and restore books safely.

Digital Resources & Searching the Collection

Students can explore our physical library collection and access digital resources anytime by visiting the WRDSB Library Learning Commons (LLC) website.

Through the LLC portal, students have 24/7 access to:

• Online encyclopedias

• Interactive eBooks & audiobooks

• Research databases

• Educational streamed video media

How to Log In: Students can access these tools both at school and from home using their standard Student Login credentials.
