learning commonsHello! In the Learning Commons, student success is our top priority! The Learning Commons is located on the second floor of the Student Success Center, S-201 and is home to Western’s Library and a wide variety of academic support services.

We honor safety, transparency, peer support, collaboration, choice, and intersectional identities on campus and within the broader community.

Librarians also provide research support, curate resources, create instructional materials, and conduct instruction sessions for students, faculty, and the campus community.
