What is Going on in the Library?






This year we are increasing the amount of time students in grades one through six spend with the Library Teacher from 30 minutes to 40 minutes (Kindergartners have traditionally had 40 minute periods). In addition, classroom teachers will now co-teach with the Library Teacher during the library period.

Topics for the year will include (and may be expanded upon):

  • Digital Citizenship
  • Book Exchange and Literacy
  • Research and Inquiry

The first unit of study with the children will be "Digital Citizenship", using Common Sense Education materials:

We are Changing the Conversation about School Librarians- do you see them as part of the future? We do!


"The modern school library supports education in a variety of ways. One essential role librarians play is that of a leader who works collaboratively to build relationships, mold culture and climate, and advocate for the needs of students and the community."
-International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
