Welcome to the Burks Learning Commons! Our Learning Commons is a place where students, staff, and parents may rearrange the ‘lounge’ to accommodate a reading book club,  meet at the tables for impromptu planning sessions or secure a quiet place to work. Effective learning commons are alive with the voices of students, staff, and parents working together, creating connections, gaining new information, and applying knowledge.

Burks Learning Commons Mission:

The mission of Burks Learning Commons is to ensure that students and staff are effective evaluators, users, and communicators of ideas and information, enabling them to be literate, life-long learners.

When are library books due?

The computer marks all items overdue that have been checked out for two weeks or longer. Fines are not charged for overdue items. However, when you are done with a book please return the book so others can check it out.

You are more than welcome to keep a book longer than two weeks, just be sure to renew the book so you won’t have an overdue item on your record. 

What happens if an item from the library is lost or damaged?

Lost books and damaged books must be paid for in order to clear student records and allow them to check out another book. We accept cash or checks (made out to Burks).
