In addition to having access before and after school, students in the elementary school have scheduled weekly class time in the library. We believe that in many ways, the library is the “heart of the school,” a place where learning, research, creativity and a love for reading come together to benefit the entire school community.
Our library curriculum is progressive from Pre – Kindergarten through Grade 8 and focuses on two areas:
- encouraging students to become life-long readers by introducing them to a variety of literary genres (mystery, poetry, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, mythology, realistic fiction, non-fiction, biography, folklore), as well as literary awards, authors, and illustrators that are grade appropriate
- assisting students and teachers in locating, evaluating, and using resources, including books, magazines, reference materials, databases, and other Internet sources in support of their academic assignments.
