Library Skills News
Upper elementary students attend library skills classes every week for one class period. To build student information literacy, we explore research and study skills in conjunction with the student curriculum. Students also use class time to explore various genres of literature to promote student reading.
About the Library
The Library Media Program is a vital component in the educational process. It is designed to provide:
a. a structure for students developing book and
information location and selection skills .
b. a collection that supports the school curriculum and teachers.
c. an array of resources and information to engage students in
activities that extend the classroom experience, and create
opportunities to explore subjects of academic and leisure interest.
