Library Program Goal: To ensure that students are effective users and creators of ideas and information.
Our Library Mission
The Teacher-Librarian encourages and supports lifelong learning and literacy by maintaining an up-to-date diverse collection of materials in a variety of formats, by teaching research and information skills which result in self-reliant and critical users of information, by promoting a love of reading and by supporting curriculum with instruction and resources.
Welcome to a new School Year!
Mrs. Schroeder and Mrs. Kaufman are excited to welcome you to a new school year. We have lots of things planned - great research, new books, a visiting author - and another book fair in the November!
This year we will be focusing our studies on five Library and Information Skills topics:
- Library Skills
- Love of Literature
- Seeking Information
- Organizing and Presenting Information
- Information Citizenship
For more on how these will apply at each grade level, please visit the Library PowerSchool page for your student's grade.
