BOCA RATON | School libraries have changed. They used to be a vital part of campus – a depository for knowledge with reference materials and books of all types.

St. John Paul II Academy, 4001 N. Military Trail, has come up with its answer: a learning commons area that gives students and faculty a flexible meeting space with technical upgrades like video projectors and charging stations.
