Blog Post 5- Looking at Other Libraries

2. North Surrey Secondary School, 15945-96 Avenue Surrey BC
3.  108 Staff members approx.
4. Yes it is a learning commons
5. 8:00am- 4:00pm Monday to Friday
6.  The Teacher Librarian is Ms. Cameron
7. Yes, there is access to the library catalogue, a student toolkit; research tool kit with methods for researching to help with studying, many websites such links to help with studying such as Learn Now B.C. and Khan Academy.
8.  I like that there are many links and sub categories to visit for specific information.   They have lots of information on learning such as research methods, project planning guide, etc.  There is nothing I particularly dislike.
9. They have a North Surrey Secondary book club, a monthly concert in the library called Music 4 Lunch and a Media Production Studio.
10.  Their circulation doesn’t differ from ours.  They have policies and rules on digital citizenship, and internet safety.
11.  It seems to be a larger space from what I can see in the pictures.  Their website is more in an informative style with lots of links and information where as ours is in a blog format with lots of pictures and videos to get information across.
12.  The organization of both libraries are similar, they have similar rules, and resources.

2. Johnston Heights Secondary School, 15350-99 Avenue Surrey, BC
3. 107 staff members approx.
4. Yes, the library is considered a learning commons
5. 8:00-4:00 Monday to Friday
6. Johnston Heights has two Teacher-Librarians: Ms. Cauduro and Ms. Kingdon.
7. The helpful resources on their Learning commons website include academic integrity and bibliographies,  information on copyright, how to videos, information on downloading ebooks, a list of technology available in the library, learning links with information on homework, research and projects.
8. I like that they have information on the library for the new school year, and resources that can help with your academics.  As well they have the option to request books that student would like in the library.
9.  There are no events listed.
10. The circulation is the same.
11. It has the option to request books on the website.
12. It also has some book trailers posted.

2. Clayton Heights Secondary, 7003-188 Street Surrey, BC
3. 60 staff members
4. Yes, It is considered a Learning Commons
5. 8:00-4:00 same as school hours. 
6. The Teacher-Librarian is Ms. Husieff
7. Some helpful resources include internet tools, research tools, and other website resources to help with academics.
8.  I like that they have a mission statement and list of values.   I dislike how little information they have, it seems to be a very small website.
9. There are no events listed.
10.  Same Circulation as Fraser Heights and I am assuming the policies are the same.
11.  It’s different in the way that their website is quite plain and the blog is not the home page.  However the blog is informative.

12.  They have a blog with similar information.
