Learning Commons
What is a Learning Commons?
The library has been renamed! No longer limited to just books and typical school hours, it seems more fitting to call it a “learning commons.” This 21st Century title is more appropriate since many of our resources are accessible 24/7, including research guides, project handouts, classroom tools, and e-books. During school, groups of students use our space to gather while uncovering and discussing their learning with peers. Others are welcome to visit and check out books as their schedule allows.
Check out our Learning Commons Webpage for helpful resources and learning links.

Kim Bailey, Library Media Specialist
I am so excited to serve the students, parents, and teachers at McNeil Elementary as the Library Media Specialist. I began my teaching career in Pre-K and later taught in a specialized classroom to help build social and emotional skills before moving to Kindergarten in a general education classroom. I hope to bring my experience working with students to the Learning Commons at McNeil, and look forward to designing an environment that challenges and promotes high level thinking. In addition, I hold a Bachelor degree in Psychology from A&M Commerce and a Masters in Administration. I am currently working towards obtaining my School Librarian Certification.
